mate you would be lucky if some one gives you a bit of ratting for your pups ..alot of people keep it for them selfs..........

best go knocking a few farm doors or getting hold of a few people you have permission with and ask them if they know any one who may aquire some assistance.......

but some one on here may be kind enough to help you out .............

If you get stuck have a look around Macdonalds carparks at night or any litter bound laybys, in fact anywere lazy b*****ds dump their fast food wrappers, another good place for rats are allotments that keep fowels, some have rats in their hundreds, ask if theres any traps or poison down first, if the allotment holders dont want you on ask if you get set a live trap, the Monarch ones are great for around a tenner, you,ll be supprised at the numbers of rats that fit in one of them ,atb, buster.

I'm in the same predicament border man 1989, I've had no offers off the forum, as whippet 99 said, people keep it for themselves. but hopefully you get sorted

Get out and ask for permission. Dairy farms, chicken farms and maggot farms are good. Also get to know local keepers. Cover strips can produce some good bags now that the shooting season is over.

Landfill sites can be great for ratting . Again be careful with posion and stuff
