Could you rat with a springer?


Recommended Posts


So anyone ever seen it been done before? My spinger is a rough shooting dog used mainly for woodcock, duck and pheasent, but i was curious to see has anyone ever seen a springer been used for the purpose for ratting before?

 

There's a couple of Springers up the road from me that will dig well deep into Mole Hills, and this they picked up from a Russell that I had called Rags. If they dig like terriers, then why not rat like terriers.

The only problem with using soft mouthed dogs for ratting is they start to get a bit hard mouthed which marks the game
