smudgersmith 2 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Thinking of getting another Terrier, already have a JR and a Border (16 weeks-old). I am a keen ferreter and do a bit of ratting, :wacko: My wife and I run a livery yard in Hampshire so there is plenty going on for the dogs. I want a good Terrier type who can work when required and is best suited to this environment. Any ideas. ! Quote Link to post

Simoman 110 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 If its just rats and rabbits then I don't really think it matters which breed............... Quote Link to post

johnnyboy28 1 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 If you mean all above ground get a straight Beddlington then mate from working stock/lines Quote Link to post
smudgersmith 2 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 You never know what may pop-up. !! Only had 8 foxes over the past 3 years, all above ground. My JR struggled on two occassions and come off with a few bad scars. Quote Link to post
borderboy 80 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) Get a small lurcher, you will have tons more success with it on the rabbits , and theres still time to put the border pup on foxes... Also if there in the house a third dog changes everything Edited April 30, 2007 by borderboy Quote Link to post
