Patterdale Terrier versus Pomapoo: Overview

A very important difference between the Patterdale Terrier and the Pomapoo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Patterdale Terrier is a small-sized dog while the Pomapoo is a tiny-sized dog.

Furthermore, the Patterdale Terrier belongs to the Terrier Dogs group. Terrier Dogs were originally bred to go underground to hunt rodents and other small wild animals (vermin).

Patterdale Terrier versus Pomapoo: Comparison Table

The table below compares the Patterdale Terrier to the Pomapoo based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.

When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets

Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
