By using a green approach to force vermin out of areas that farmers are experiencing major losses. We are a group of individuals spread across several states committed to improving the breed while helping farmers protect their way of living. We utilize our dogs to help with nuisance animals eating farmers crops and live stock. These nuisance animals include Raccoons, Groundhogs, Nutria. Our dogs a

re considered as some of the best in the nation when it comes to this job. We own all of the original Alan Cocker imports with the exception of one male located on the west coast of america. Buyers beware, there are a lot of paper hangers out with the most well known one coming from the Louisiana area.

There’s No Such Thing as an Unhappy Working Dog.”

You’ll never meet a truly unhappy working dog. Because a real worker — especially a terrier — doesn’t do his job for praise, treats, or toys. He does it because every nerve in his body demands it. It’s his reason for being.

Terriers were bred for centuries to follow their instincts underground — to test their courage in the dark, to meet pressure with pressure, and to face what most creatures run from. When a dog is given the chance to fulfill that purpose, something deep inside him wakes up. You see it in the way he carries himself before a dig, the way his tail quivers at a fresh scent, the way he explodes into life the moment the work begins.

That’s happiness.
Not the soft kind that comes from comfort, but the kind born from purpose. A terrier’s joy is in doing what he was made to do — hunting, mixing, gripping, proving himself where heart matters more than size.

It’s not just a job — it’s identity.
The work is who they are. It’s the fire that lives in their bloodline, the link to every generation that came before. Take that away, and you don’t just lose the work — you lose the dog. Without purpose, without that instinct fulfilled, you’re left with a shell that looks the part but has no heartbeat behind the eyes.

When the day’s over and he’s muddy, scarred, and panting with his eyes bright and alive — that’s not exhaustion. That’s fulfillment. He’s done the thing his ancestors were shaped to do, and in that moment, he’s more complete than any dog living a cushioned life without a cause.

A terrier with a job is never unhappy.
He may be tired, scratched, or sore — but he is never lost.
Work doesn’t take something from him. It gives him everything.

The Next Generation and the Value of Working Stock

The future of the Patterdale Terrier does not rest solely on the dogs we have today, but on the next generation they produce. Young terriers bred from proven working stock carry forward the hard-earned traits that have made the breed what it is—grit, determination, nose, courage, and honesty in the earth. Without this direct line of workers producing workers, the breed loses its very essence. Every great terrier we have today was once the “next generation,” and the responsibility falls on us to ensure the same standard for tomorrow’s dogs.

A pup bred from true working lines is more than a promise—it is a living link to generations of dogs who have proven themselves time and again. The importance of coming from working stock cannot be overstated. It ensures that the instincts are intact, the abilities are tested, and the character of the breed is preserved. A terrier that comes from the shovel, from the fields, and from real work carries something that cannot be faked or replaced. It is the guarantee that the next generation will be fit for purpose.

For fanciers and breeders alike, the next generation represents both hope and responsibility. Hope, because in each pup there is the potential for greatness. Responsibility, because breeding must never be about numbers or novelty—it must always be about maintaining and improving the line of true workers. Without this discipline, the next generation risks being terriers in name only, rather than terriers in function and spirit.

A good terrier inspires us, but more importantly, it sets the benchmark for what the next generation should be. By holding fast to working stock and ensuring that our young terriers are proven in the field, we hand the next generation not just dogs, but a legacy. One great dog can ignite passion in the youth, and one generation of well-bred, honest workers can shape the breed for decades to come.

There’s something about these little workers that keeps me grounded. It’s not their looks or the image they give off — it’s their spirit. Anytime I find myself drifting toward old vices or distractions, dogs like this bring me right back to what matters.

These terriers aren’t just companions; they’re reminders of purpose, grit, and drive. They live to work, and in that, they remind us to keep our focus sharp and our intentions honest.

Here’s to the dogs that keep us true. The little workers who don’t need glamour to make an impact — they just need a job, and they give us their all.

AC’s Mayhem: A Dog That Helped Influence Shift the Breed’s History in America

AC’s Mayhem wasn’t just a standout terrier in our eyes—he in many ways was a shift in direction at a critical time for the breed. You see his blood or a close relative in many of the working camps around today. As one of our program’s foundational dogs, Mayhem helped reestablish what mattered most for us: a working terrier from a line of working terriers that performed and reproduced the traits that made the breed great in the first place.

He came onto the scene during a time when much of the breeding in America was being done based on pedigree behind the dog—not the digs under its collar. In our view, that approach watered down the type quickly. Dogs were being paired based on names in a pedigree instead of what they had actually done. That mindset led to terriers who wouldn’t even try to locate, or worse—dogs that couldn’t hold a tough piece of game still long enough to dig, especially in wide-set.

Mayhem brought the focus back to work. He had pressure, grit, composure—and most importantly, he passed those traits on. He raised the bar in terms of consistency and type, and from coast to coast, his blood earned its place through performance.

Still, his rise wasn’t welcomed by all. There were many who would have happily dismissed Mayhem’s blood entirely, simply out of disdain for me. Many that tried. And I’m quite certain there were people who bred to or moved dogs down from him, not out of respect, but to control a narrative. None of that changed the outcome. The dogs spoke for themselves. You can find dogs line bred on mayhem that are doing the deed with class.

Mayhem was only bred five times. Three times by us (and we keep frozen semen) . Only three of his pups ever left our hands. Most of what you see out there with his name on it came from outside movements—not our own pairings. Mr Ashlock played a roll in how popular this working terrier became. Placing line bred descendants in the hands of those who wanted the blood. We held back what we produced because we knew what we were building. And looking back now, it’s clear the blood made a lasting, positive impact on the breed. Both in and out of our yard.

Today, dogs directly down from Mayhem—or dogs very closely line bred on him—serve as foundation stock in more than a few serious working camps across the U.S. His offspring are proving themselves in eruope as well as Brazil. And his blood is now headed to Australia, where it’s poised to influence the next generation of workers abroad.

AC’s Mayhem didn’t shift the breed’s history by chance—he did it through results, timing, and the decision to stay true to what matters. I cant say he was our best worker or best producer but he may have made the biggest impact. He reminded our country that working dogs should be built on ability not a pedigree or paperwork. And that truth, like his blood, continues to carry on.

🔥 “Conquer What’s in Front of You” 🐾

A true terrier doesn’t flinch at the entrance of a dark hole. It doesn’t pause to ask what’s waiting on the other side. It goes in—head first, heart steady, and teeth ready.

That’s how you conquer life.

You don’t wait for perfect timing. You don’t ask for guarantees. You face what’s in front of you—the stress, the doubt, the pressure—and you push forward anyway.

Every day you show up, grind, and keep your eyes on what matters most, you’re doing more than surviving. You’re winning ground. You’re breaking limits. You’re building something your family can stand on.

Like a terrier bred to work, there’s no obstacle too thick, no challenge too loud, and no setback too deep to stop the kind of drive that’s been forged by purpose.

Conquer the day. Conquer the doubt. Conquer everything in front of you.

There’s No Such Thing as an Unhappy Working Terrier.

We’re not talking about fetch in the yard or enrichment puzzles in the living room. We’re talking about terriers doing what they were bred for: entering a natural set, locating game, and holding it until a dig is made. That is the true definition of a working terrier.

When a terrier is being dug to—when the ground is moving, the shovel is ringing, and the dog is holding firm—there is no sadness, no confusion, no anxiety. There’s only purpose, pride, and a deep satisfaction that you cannot replicate through toys or training. That dog is exactly where its instincts wanted to take it.

On the other hand…
There is such thing as an unhappy pet terrier.
Bored, reactive, pacing a fence line. Chewing through crates. Frustrated, misunderstood, and called “too much dog.”
But in truth, they’re not too much. They’re just not being used.

If we let the digging fade, we lose more than just a practice—we lose the essence of the breed.
We lose the bar that separates real working terriers from ornamental ones.
We lose the only true test of grit, soundness, and heart.

Keeping the working traditions alive—true working traditions—is not just about heritage.
It’s about mental well-being. It’s about honoring the dog.
And it’s about keeping the Patterdale a working terrier in more than just name.
