Nicholson 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi all I have just found this website and tis great. I have a 3 yr old patterdale bitch, i've had her a year, came from a resce home so no history. She is a great dog, no fear, and has caught a few rabbits, been down holes etc but i dont let her off the lead now cos she wont come back for hours. Then started attacking other dogs in park etc. She is better now and not so aggressive . Is she too old to start to rabbit /rat ? we live on isle of wight. Quote Link to post

By the sounds of it mate she is already working on the rabbits!? Typical Patt wanting to fight with every dog it comes across!! If shes entering holes no problem, then if I was you, id get yourself a bleeper collar and box and a spade and get on the foxes!! That would calm her down a bit and you'd be doing your local farmers a great service!! Quote Link to post
