My Border terrier is a fanatical ratter but the only bother she gives the chickens is to try to pretend she is one so she can steal her food . So altho they might be more likely to be 'chase anything', it doesnt necessarily follow.

I even dangled her upside down and kicked open a flip top feed bin once and dunked her in head first as there was a rat inside, all I heard was a muffled rolling growl, a shake , a single squeak and Mission Impossible was complete! She will happily sit for an entire day watching a hole, try getting her to sit any other time...

Shes not from ratting stock and was never trained, she just adores it. Wish Id got two so it was easier for her to corner the rats, thats the only problem with one (the Doberman tried his best but it's like having Goofy/Scooby Doo on the case...)

Hi,

 I have got a patterdale x bedlington, great ratter and rabbiter, scourge of the local bird population. Looks like a miniature wolfhound, long legs and the scruffiest hound ever.

I wish mine had long legs

Thanks for all the replys,All our feed is in rat proof bins it seems they are coming after the chicken food in the hoppers.
I have had some sucess with the trap in the last few days but if anyone is near Suffolk and wants to come over with your dog that would be great as well.
