For what seemed like ages i was trying to persuade my parents to let me get a terrier for ratting, as usual the answer was no. This weekend i had just about given hope of me getting one, but then out of the blue one off my dads mates text him saying if we knew of anyone who would like a dog pup, straight away dad asked for a picture and then after the exciting ting ting of dads phone we opened it to see the most lovely pup so then we said we'd have and everything is history! He is a 3/4 jack russel and 1/4 norfolk terrier will post pics soon. Any tips on training him as i'd like to get him to be the best ratter ever!

Well done u seem over the moon. I remember getting my first dog a first cross collie greyhound I hid it in the back sheds because my parents wouldn't let me have dogs, I was only 11. First night I thought everything was sweet until he started howling the place out, I was well caught out but they seen the funny side of it. Then four years later I had the sheds all turned into pens and I had 16 dogs at one stage. Once you get your first home that'll be the start of it mate. All the best pal

Go for it pig boy, I remember my first ever dog, a jr terrier, as I expect do all the boys on here ( and girls sorry ), i bet it takes us all back a while, all the hours spent out with your first dog, everything they did was "amazing", enjoy it kid, live it to to the max, you'll learn more than the pup will. Go for it.

He will if you chastise him pigboy, pull him off with a stern no,, only young yet as bbb said get him jabbed first now then at 12 weeks. great to hear your joy at getting your first terrier, good luck mate.

I had been around dogs since birth as my father and uncles were all hunters BUT when my father called me down the run and told me to pic a pup for myself I was the happiest kid ever. Me and spike spent every waking and most sleeping hours together he was a great little dog that unfortunately didn't make old bones. Enjoy it kid this will be a part of your life that you will NEVER forget .............

Great news lad, best of luck with the little tyke. Get him jabbed up and get him into the rats. Best thing to do is let a pup be a pup and get him around as many dogs and people to make sure he gets to know the crack and doesn't turn out to be a horrible little cnut
