awizardharri 0 Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hey everyone, my name's Harri, I own an SBT cross bitch called Smokey. She is extremely drivey and game and I have done a lot of research on bull terrier breeds but am less of an expert on the ratting type terriers. Smokey is muzzled on walks as she tries to kill hedgehogs and cats. I have come to the conclusion that drive can be controlled but not eliminated entirely, and therefore I think it would be good for her to have an outlet for her drive. So there's a few questions I wanna ask I guess; 1. Are Staffies allowed to go ratting/rabbitting professionally? 2. What training would I need if any? 3. Are ratting dogs privately owned or bred especially so would I have to do it on my own? 4. How do I get started? Any extra information you guys could give me would be great. Thankyou Quote Link to post Share on other sites
