j1985 1,984 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Get another staff ? Quote Link to post
buster gonads 862 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Most light agile working terriers, be that a cross or not will kill rats for the hell of it, my preference would be Beddlington, Russel,or Plummer type, a beddy x whippet would do the job nicely and pick a few more bunnys up than most, some Whippets make shit hot ratters dispite them looking on the fragile side.
