are they doing any thing because if they are it will be easyer for you to get permission i would just knock on there door and see if they are willing to alow you on. some farmers are so funny about it try farmers near you first word of mouth is the best way it gets you more permission. where abouts are you?

leicestershire so you would advise to phone or knock on farmers doors and ask about rattin but my terriers have never done it before

Just pick an area and drive round it knocking on doors , the farmer will either say yes or no. Some people get cards and letters knocked up with names and numbers on but to be honest speaking to the farmer face to face is probably a better bet

best knocking on doors mate,they dont have to be bred worker to worker.it helps but it dosent mean they woant catch rats better than any,all worker to worker means is that you got a better chance in the first place of your dog turning out well.hope this helps mate.good luck gaining some permission.

i would just go and ask, it would be better if you knew the farmer but doesent matter to much.

my two dogs found a mouse in a cardbord tube well out on a walk and now they have the taste of blood they look round the garden every day

they are six months old i will be taking then to farms soon

Just be careful around bales. The chances of your dogs getting to a rat in bales are slim at the best of times and you never know what else they might meet in them. Try looking round old stacks of wood, along ditches and any piles of rubbish lying around. All the best getting some permission.
