Bosun11 537 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 A bit of ratting for any dog does 'em the power of good, just ensure they are jabbed up as puppies and with Lurchers, make sure they have been well entered to rabbits first. Quote Link to post

And I lost a lurcher the same mate but even so, i'd never start a dog ratting unless it was fully jabbed... Why gamble..? Quote Link to post

Country Joe 1,411 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Ratted a few times when I had my Whippet X Bedlington, she was a Rabbiting dog with 4 Seasons under her belt before she was introduced to Rats, and it did make her hard mouthed. Quote Link to post
