In keeping with our breeding goals, I wanted to include some pictures of our dogs at work...on farms, around the house & out in the woods.
Rat Terriers (if bred true to instinct) have a tendency to chase & kill vermin and small game. Mice, Rats, Moles, Squirrels, Woodchucks, Rabbits and sometimes Coons are hunted with this breed.
I need to get more photos of our dogs hunting in the woods & hopefully some more squirrel hunting pictures/tailgates as we get more involved in the sport.

26 Do we have to??!
27 My friend Debi @ Foggy Meadow Farm. We were walking w/ the dogs up to see her newborn foal, and they decided to do a little hunting on the way!
28 This is what Minnie looks like when she's not hunting...a proper lady.
29 Minnie nose first in a nest...There was a whole family of field mice in there, she found em, and her buddies Widget and Shadow came to help her kill them off.
30 Minnie and Widget dig for more, see all the fluff from the nest?

40 There was a mouse heading under the freezer and he caught it JUST in time! :)
41 Mmm this is pretty good...
42 Anytime you make a slight "psst" sound Radar comes running and will scan the area for mice.
43 You know Radar made the kill here, cause Flutter would have eaten the little buggar!
44 Radar hunting in the brush pile...
