[keith j 1,088]

Good to see there's still a couple good Ratting threads going,great pics and great days [nights] out,keep them coming.Out every weekend in pursuit of old rattus myself and still killing a few. Sunday gone though only killed six and a stoat,was a glorious couple hours mooch all the same.Nice spring day, bit sunshine and bird song after months of rain was a pleasant change.Managed to get a couple shots of the dogs doing there thing,atb keith j.

What way do you think to go Keith? Whip? Grey? Or collie?

Just curious mate. As you say, they'd be snapped up.

If i was to cross, would be to a working whippet ,keep the size down and ad a dash of speed.But most of the land we lamp is hill and moorland where rabbits take refuge in the dry stone walls,the collie's work this ground really well turning the bunnies back into the fields and picking them off .would be different if we were lamping flat pasture fields mind,but horses for courses.She's a good all round dog gives 100 percent every time,atb keith j.
