dazbo 15 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) owt will work cover and kill the odd rat and rabbit, let him pick his own pup and he will get on with it better. i agree most terriers will do cover and rats my border x lakey is sound at bothe. should he stay clear of strong blooded diging dogs ? what do you lads think. i had to buy a locator coller for mine as i have had to dig her out of a rabit hole when she was about 7 month old and she was only bought for rats and brushing what about a plumer they have good nose s and are good rat / brushing dogs Edited February 8, 2009 by gone bush Quote Link to post
