Gkeeper111 22 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hello all I took my 8 month old terrier ratting for the first time a couple of days ago with my friends jack russel. We killed 18 rats but my terrier didnt kill any. It chased a couple but didnt know what to do with them when she landed on them, has anyone else had this before? She is only young still but would like to know if there is anything i can do to help her work out what to do with them. Ive also got a problem with what to do with her coat, whether to cut it or not. She is meant to be a lakeland and her undercoat is very very thick like a bedlingtons, and as you can see from the photo she is very scruffy. Any help would be appreciated Cheers GK Quote Link to post

Gkeeper111 22 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Ah right- Coat wise- there are a few mats in her coat- some fairly deep. Don't want her to get problems or anything if I leave them but don't want to ruin the texture of her coat by cutting. I'd never cut her short all over as I too like the thick nature of it.
