steve0146 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Just interested at who has the smallest working terrier. I bought a jack russell last year from good working stock but she is only half the size of her parents. She is just 11 inches and really small build. I'm wondering if she will get a bit bashed up if i take her ratting. Quote Link to post

Malt 379 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Smaller dogs are ideal for ratting, as they can quickly turn after them. Quote Link to post

It does"nt matter about rat bite"s they take bites all day long living in the wild they have good tongue to clean them selfs with, All the best!!
