A rodent that weighs a few ounce against a terrier that is capable of punching far,far,far above a terriers weight,as they are often expected to do,yep a lightweight rodent is the test of many a second rate terrier and comes far,far,far easier to any half decent terrier,seriously an 8 ounce rodent is supposed to be a tester for a terrier?.
So is ratting something else you havn't done .Rats in number are a test for any dog ,any breed .ill pm you next shed that comes up and you bring your pack for a try .No hard feelings ,clean slate just hunting .
