minion 29 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 This is Jade, she is 21/2 years old and I took her ratting for the first time on Thu 23rd December. I relise it's old to start her ratting, but it's the first time i've had somewhere decent to go. I use her as a genral bushing dog and take her rabbiting. She's only worked rabbits and now rat. I got invited to go to a poultry shed while they were muking it out. The had lifted all the floors and were using a forklift fitted with a bucket to scoop out all the chicken crap. As they lifted the crap, rats were bolting and Jade got stuck in. She got a few bites at first as it's the first quarry that's bitten back. She soon got the hang of it and we managed to catch 31 rats. Loads escaped and I am going to go back up to the shed as it is very addictive. She was still catching the rats, but she was looking a bit tired, so I stopped her while she was still keen. The conditians where the chickens are kept were not the best and I don't really agree with keeping them like that, but it provided me with fantastic sport so I'm sure I can live with it. I only wish I had a place like this to go when she was a bit younger. Ah well, I'll just have to make the most of it now! Quote Link to post
