Check out the size of some of these rats from an article I read in Modern Farmer...these guys run a commercial rat eradication business using dogs in California...I love terriers, had a Cairn when I was a kid and have always wanted a Jack Russell...
This thread will be fun...
....can they be trained to sniff out illegals?
There is a breed of dog called the Jack Russell terrier, and a similar-looking but more rugged variety called a rat terrier. A cross between these two results in both a degree of hybrid vigor, and a highly aggressive rat hunter, small enough to go into corners with rats, and quick enough to evade most of the slashing counterattacks by the cornered rat.
The dog comes out with an overwhelming sense of victory with the dead rat in his jaws. So where is the next one? Bring it on, yippee-ki-f**king-yay, in the very best Bruce Willis manner.
Let them start at NBC HQ.
They found that cats will co-exist with rats if there is plenty of food - and NYC dumpsters could feed several third-world countries.

A rat terrier could be the dogs Trump needs to have at the WH the media is whining about him having no pets...
This is a misleading headline. This is a Terrier club for rat killing breeds. The pics at the link show a Staffordshire, a Jack Russel (I think) and a Bedlington.
There are AKC shows for this kind of activity. I went to one a few weeks ago called Barn Hunt. Earthdog is a terrier one which I’d like to see.
Isn’t there a chance the dogs might catch some diseases? And the same for the handlers who don’t appear to be wearing gloves....
It always seems to be the London newspapers that cover our news the best. With loads of pictures and video clips.
The rat in the photo looks like Bill de Blasio.
Bring them to D.C., they have the huge variety of rats there that cause immeasurable damage not only in D.C. but throughout the nation, and even the world. 8>)
Yeah, but how many DemocRATS? And many of them voted more than once, or voted illegally?
Cool.
Got a dog that’s half Chihuahua, half pit bull. She’ll kill anything that crawls.
Now if they would only go after the democRATS!
My previous pair of dogs, George and Kramer, died within a month of each other about 8 years ago. George was part boxer and probably the sweetest dog I’ve ever had. I sometimes watched in amazement as he saw something way across our large yard and bolted. In a flash he had grabbed a rat, shook it, and broken its neck. I miss that guy.
Dogs doing the job cats won’t do.
