After some advice

Legally you will have to get permission from the landowner to kill rats so you need to aproach them and ask. Ideally someone could show you the ropes, maybe someone on here can help. You can learn a lot just by reading old threads on here. As for dead rats there best off burnt, farms etc usually have some sort of fire going or somewhere you can dispose of em. After you have taken photos of em with your dogs and posted the pic on here of course lol. Hope this helps.

 

Well seen as you mention it and I can't help but notice you are based in west yorkshire fancy helping a total novice?

 

I also noticed a lot of people have bull x's, is it possible to work a bull breed ie a staffie?

I dont have ratting permission myself bud, i dont work terriers atm. Where abouts are you?

 

Near Leeds.

Check your messages mate

I get offered a bit of ratting from time to time, If you dont mind travelling around 40 mins i can let you know if anything comes up. Its not a certainty but just to bare in mind.

Nice strong looking type of terrier there mate, if you dont get any permission straight away, just keep takin him out and about, waterways,rivers,drains, rubbish piles,log piles etc. he will find things if there there. Just one thing mate, do the dog a service and take that poncey bloody harness off him.

Can't walk him on a flat collar, he was a rescue dog and found with a rope ingrown into his neck, hence you have to be careful about putting too much pressure on his neck as its already scar tissue. He has a groove deep enough to get your finger in across the back of his neck.

You could start him on a rat you catch/buy, in your back garden. That'll give you a sense of his prey drive but I doubt at all that it'll be a problem. I've heard of staffs ratting and I hope to get my staff into a bit of it. He looks like a full patterdale to me, in good shape too.
