Rabbiting Terriers – Their Work and Training

Britain is the undisputed home of the terrier. There are more than 20 breeds and although each one is a capable hunting dog, over the centuries some breeds of terriers have proved themselves to be more suited to rabbiting than others. The rabbiting terriers have many common characteristics and in this fascinating book the author analyzes these attributes in order to describe the height, weight, shape, stamina, and intelligence of the ideal rabbiting terrier.

Together with his brother, he has run a rescue service for ferrets and currently finds new homes for ferrets. He has been a contributor to The Countryman's Weekly and is author of Ferreting: A Traditional Country Pursuit.
