Milestar Patagonia mud tire have a super heavy sidewall I don't know what the ply is but when you grab a hold of the tire you know you have it in your hands.

I don't know anything about the patterdale but I have a Jagd terrier that is hunting machine, sounds like he's a lot like the patterdales, rats, mice, rabbits, heck I even run him on bear and lion. If it moves he hunts it he clears out 40 foot culverts on a regular basis

Very similar to cattle, one small slit pull each one out and cut off. Spray with vetricin and then blue kote for 6 days. Give a shot of penicillin for 3 days or oral antibiotics for 5. Limit activity for 10. If you can sedate you could cauterize the tubes.

I typically leave my halter on and tie the lead rope to a tree fairly close to where the dogs are. In the country I hunt it is a luxury to be able to get close ...
