areet mate you can ask anythink on this site and you will mostley recive positive and helpful feedback.what you should do is ask some terriermen if there willing to let you tag along on a days out weither its out ratting or digging with some experienced terriers to bring your dog on then when your dog has gained some experience do what you wish. p.s 1 yr old for me os the right age to start bringing a pup on with a few rats, or take it along to a dig to see whats what sorry about grammar. atb shaun
