Ratting with Plummers


Recommended Posts

top result and look like you lot had a cracking time, i got asked off a farmer a few weeks back if my whippets would catch rats, never tried but said i would give the a go,

 

when down of the first day for and hour and they caught 62, second day only had 1/2 hour but another 25, and then on our 3rd outing they caught another 112, farmer was over the moon as i was for 2 novis whippets and a very novis ratter was my first time on the rats, talk about non stop action heres a couple of pics for you.

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I will take you up on that offer Hannah as long as its a freebie for us poor terrier men LoL, will let you know. Nice one Tom, dropped on there, nice to see other breeds having a go, you must have been chuffed. I didnt go into the days events as there was too much to mention,needless to say it was explosive with non stop action, however watch this space as a DVD will be coming out in the near future by Rally Scene.

Any disputes between the dogs or were they ok? :hmm:

Knew someone would ask that question Hywel. In all honestly I only saw 2 minor incidents and that involved one of my terriers, a dog of 14 months old, he has worked with my own pack with no problems to date so I could only assume he was overwhelmed with that many terriers around him 26 in total, however he was put in his place very quickly by myself, we wont tollerate it as it can upset the whole pack. When one is digging onto a rat and another terrier sticks his nose in you will hear the odd grumble and you just difuse the situation. Its a question of keeping the whole pack busy and watching the body language. If a terrier is persistant we box him up and try him later. There are plenty of bodies around to manage this.
