What terrier?

[moxy 617]

Im looking to get a terrier to work as a good ratting dog and to take when i go ferreting. Im not into earthworks as the only digging i will do is to locate a ferret or dig a hole for a mole trap.

Im looking for a dog which is a good companion, Worker, Loyal and easily broke to ferrets and stock.(not looking for much then lol).

I think patterdales are nice looking dogs and like what i have read about them. I have had jack russels in the past but not in the capacity as a working dog.

I have two german shepards so it must also be able to get along.

I welcome your opinions and healthy debate to help me choose, Thanks in advance

JRT any terrier is capable of ratting and rabbiting so why pay out for a Plummer or Border.Maybe even take a failed earth dog,lots about.A black un could become a liability around rabbit holes.

its your hard earned cash so pick out a dog you like the look of, you have to feed it, walk it and work with it.
