Sure the terrier had a great time when they got to the bottom of the Rick It is still law to have a terrier or two to mop up the vermin when threshing,i used to help on a farm a few miles from me at threshing time and take my terriers along and we never had less than 150 rats out of a stack and it was always funny how the terriers would just leave the hundreds of mice and only go for the rats.Brilliant sport but my god i got blisters on blisters and eyes so sore i thought i was going blind from the dust on a few days when we needed it threshed out quick as the rain was coming, the farmer grew the corn for thatching straw so it has to be old school so to keep the stalk long..

Cheers DC My old plummer bitch i could take and did take her any where in any stock from pheasants,ducks,chickens up to big stock like cattle and she was 100% around it all,she'd mark and when she did i'd have put my world on her not telling a lie.She'd bush and work with ferrets but wold never go into a rabbit hole unless a fox was present and when she did go to ground she stayed till she was dug to..Some are a bit gassy and i couldn't have kept my one outside in a run but she was a perfect house dog and so it didn't matter to me, under rated little dogs by a lot of folks but those that give them a go are sometimes a bit surprised at just how much they can do GIVEN THE CHANCE... 4 1 Quote Link to post
