Cooke123 6 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I know many of you purists won't like this but I'd like advice on starting up teaching my Jack to rabbit and rat. I live in the north west. Many thanks. Quote Link to post

fireman 11,326 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I let my earth workers chase rabbits and rats and all i've ever done is come down hard on them if they try to go down rabbit holes even if theyve just chased one down they don't try to follow it to much and just a call from me brings them away everytime ,will add they mark a rat a whole lot harder and it takes a little more to get them away from a hot mark from a rat.It'd be a lot of time spent sat in a kennel run bored if i didn't hunt other things with my terriers and as they only got me to please then i'm happy with the way i do things 10 Quote Link to post

Cooke123 6 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Thanks for the advice. I live near Bolton, I have no permission yet but there are plenty of farms were I live. Here is a picture of the dog for what it's worth. Cheers. http://s11.postimg.org/8wp4xwzgz/image.jpg Quote Link to post

Cooke123 6 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I've not seen one like him anywhere. Think he's a bit of a throwback as he looks nothing like the mother or father dog. Thanks for the advice and comments. Quote Link to post
Cleanspade 3,324 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 buy a locator system and get him out around the farms. you might get the odd rat as well in around the buildings but remember stock training is important this time of year.especially. . Quote Link to post
