Do you know if your's comes from working parents?

My cousin has one, his mum was patterdale and his dad was patterdale x jrt. Both working dogs.. though going against my advice of not getting a terrier as it was her 1st dog.
he is very strong willed, very hyper, quite nippy, and unreliable off the lead.
Patterdales have a strong working instinct and although my cousins dog is happy with his walk, I feel he really needs more to exercise his brain.
He rebels in class, as he has so much energy and is so feisty that he just wants to shout at everyone and he nipped a husky. my cousin isn't very firm with him.

There are members who own patterdales so I'm sure they will be along with more adice shortly.
