BEARINATOR 2,872 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Along rivers and streams is a good place to start also farms and allotments. As for starting the terrier either get somebody with a working one to go out with you or let it hunt them itself, the dog will mouth the first rat it finds and get a bite, then the terrier instinct will kick in and shake it. For shifting them either make a smoker out of a strimmer engine or buy one, If you were closer I'd of took you out a few times for the rats Quote Link to post

BEARINATOR 2,872 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Night time with a lamp, first and last light is also good times to check them. Always walk your terrier with you in case any are far out so the pup will get a bit of a hunt Quote Link to post
