BEARINATOR 2,868 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Any working bred terrier will do rats along riverbanks, just decide on a breed that you like and get a pup from good working parents Quote Link to post

akton 15 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 its not the breed its down to the dog,if its game enough it will work,I have seen many a mut doing a better job than some arm chair terriers Quote Link to post
Danny123 1 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I dont think you would go far wrong with (dare I say it...) a Plummer. Theres been plenty of posts on here of Plummers ratting...try searching on here! Quote Link to post

FightTheBan 1,147 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Buy a failed earthdog. 1 it will be ready to go 2 it will already be off some form of working lines 3 it will more than likely know how to use its nose and have the foundations of a worker 4 there are pleanty going about 5 it will be cheap if not free 6 it saves you buying a pup and rearing it 6 it saves you contributing to the problem with some existing breeds It makes perfect sense imo FTB Quote Link to post
