Staffies As Ferreting Dogs


Recommended Posts


I knew someone who used to use a staffie for ferreting rats (among other things) - she was fantastic at it. Once saw 3 rats bolt into a tight space in quick succession from under a pile of crap followed shorlty by the fert. Staffie was snatching and shaking left right and centre with the fert right in the thick of it. Dog completely ignored fert even though it was only a few inches away from one of the rats. Doesn't answer your question about rabbits though - I don't know if he ever used her for that. But she worked fantastically well in a team with ferrets.

:yes:

 

If you get an intelligent one and you put in the time you can train them to do anything ;)

 

Mine had a good ability to know where the missed/difficult holes were and would wait nearby, she had a healthy respect for the ferrets and would not touch netted rabbits :thumbs:
