Thanks

thank you

Can't walk him on a flat collar, he was a rescue dog and found with a rope ingrown into his neck, hence you have to be careful about putting too much pressure on his neck as its already scar tissue. He has a groove deep enough to get your finger in across the back of his neck.

Also while I'm posting I may as well ask you opinion, a few people think he is pure patterdale but a couple of people have asked if he is a staff x. I don't see the staff myself but you might?

Well seen as you mention it and I can't help but notice you are based in west yorkshire fancy helping a total novice? I also noticed a lot of people have bull x's, is it possible to work a bull breed ie a staffie? I dont have ratting permission myself bud, i dont work terriers atm. Where abouts are you? Near Leeds.

I wish, chance of my staff been able to eat a rat is minimal....dodgy stomach poor breeding!!! Otherwise I'm sure she'd love it.

I am aware he is a dog, I can assure I am not someone who likes dogs as subsitute children, hence trying to get him into doing what he was bred to do. However I can't see how referring to him as my boy has much to do with anything. I wasn't aware humans can eat rats, can the dogs eat them?

Ok I apologise for my ignorance but how do you go about taking them ratting? Do i just find somewhere with rats and let him go? I know these are really stupid questions and I do apologise, I want to do the best by my boy I know he's love it I jsut have not got the faintest idea where to start. Another stupid question, I assume the terrier kills the rat....what do you do with them when they are dead? I mean rabbit etc you eat but what do you do with a dead rat?

I'm after some advice and I hoping someone with a working terrier can give me some help and advice. We already had a staffie who we had from a pup, she was 2 and last May we decided it would be a good idea to add a second. I wanted to go down the rescue route and found a handsome patterdale boy at a rescue in Wales. We met him, he was supposed to be dog friendly people friendly but needed a few manners, him and our staffie got on well and he came home. From there it went down hill, he has been extremely hard work and happiest when he has a job to do. As we are finally starting to make pro

Just a quick message to say hello. I'm here to see if I can find any help or training advice for my rescue Patterdale so I will be off to find the working dog section.
