I'll tell you another thing about Ol'Sparky, he would kill a rat in a heartbeat. When we first moved to Georgia, the place I bought was quite run down & had several chicken houses that were no longer any good. I picked up peice of tin sheeting and upset a nest of rats, Sparky killed 9 rats in less than in a minute. That's no lie, he kept the Rat poplulation down. I miss the little joker.
If you do some research on Minature Schnauzers you will find that one of the reasons they were bred was specifically for catching rats.

You ain't lying and they are very proficient at it.
Our first Schnauzer, Spuds, was a rat/mouse catching dude. He could outperform our Manx cat, which wasn't easy to do.
They brought there catch home and put them on the driveway, it looked like a killing field.
How is the coyote population in your parts?
