Guest rothbury ratter

Hi guys I have just been accepted to the clan.

My main hobby is ratting.

I have 4 bedlington terriers, which i use.

I use a smoker for those hard to get at and watch them pop out like popcorn in a popcorn maker.(saves a bit of digging on times).

I have built up a bit of a repetition locally as the local ratcatcher,with people Knocking the door for help with the odd rat.But still one is fun and you get a cup of tea /cans for your trouble.

I also shot a few they are good target practice,plus it gets you away from the wife for the evening.

But there is nothing that can beat a day out on a farmyard on a crisp morning with the dogs ratting.

Hi ratter, are you on this photo :D

This pic was taken way back in 1953@high heaton,newcastle upon tyne.

And no Iam afraid i missed the national bedlington terrier club show by 22 years. :) .

Its a good pic though.

By the way I checked out you website,some cracking pics of your dogs in action.

Sorry ratter,

a little earlier,

1942 at Bedlington in Northumberland where I live.

The building at the back is the Bedlington cricket club, it is still there, many lurcher and terrier shows have been staged and are staged there.

But I will re-check with the owner of the pic, and let you know,

 

All the best,
