Patterdale Terrier versus Whoodle: Overview
A very important difference between the Patterdale Terrier and the Whoodle is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Patterdale Terrier is a small-sized dog while the Whoodle is a medium-sized dog.

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”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.

Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison.
