I basically want her as a ferretting dog,and maybe the possibility of a bit of ratting.

Posted a while ago about getting my patterdale used to ferts,anyway thats been done she is sound.She is 6 months old now i am thinking how can i go about entering her to rabbit before the season starts she still does not seem very interested yet. Not had a lot to do with terriers i have got a cocker which i have trained to the whistle for beating and using with hawks and he was keen at 6 months.I understand some dogs take a bit longer to come on is there anything i can do to bring it on a bit maybe a rabbbit skin dummy etc,just a bit worried if she is going to be any good she is off working st

How are you doing all, i am new to the forum just wanted some advice really,just bought a patterdale pup 10weeks old to use for ferreting.I am borrowing couple of ferrets to start getting them introduced to her as soon as possible as anyone had problems getting a terrier ferret safe even when they have been going out regular or are they normally ok.And also has anyone got any working ferrets a year or so old there getting shut of in notts area,im not on the scrounge i will pay for them if not i will have to wait and get some youngsters.
