My dog killed a Rat

A rat in my garden last night, it was huge!

He is a Jack Russell....which are rat catchers.......never killed anything before, although he did try and kill a pigeon once, luckily I managed to step in and free it.

Re: My dog killed a Rat

Gosh I came here thinking something terrible had happened to your dog, Pauline! Terriers have a high prey drive and will have a go at anything. He is doing what he is supposed to, well done him. Poor rat - but at least you won't get any more around.

Ah don't worry Pauline! Mine was meant to be just a light hearted comment, not a telling off . I can so easily see how you could type a header like that without thinking how it might come across!

Re: My dog killed a Rat

Jack Russels are traditionally rat catchers dogs .
They are fearless little beggars and are sent down fox earths by hunts to kill foxes too .They will kill cats too given half the chance .
