Dogs are never nosy, and some dogs are naturally good at catching mice. It turns out that the Meow Emperor is not there, and the dog is also competent.
A pig farm in Suffolk, England, caused a rat plague, there was no meow to suppress, rats ran rampant, they not only stole grain, but also chewed everywhere, pigs and people were overwhelmed. If it is not cleaned up well, it will also increase the risk of disease transmission, and the outbreak of plague is not a joke.
In desperation, the farmer had to ask a public welfare mousetrap team for assistance. Ed Cook, a 34-year-old rattrap captain, came with his eight Norfolk Terriers.
At the sound of an order, the well-trained dogs "killed in a big way" in the field, and after a while, "corpses were all over the field", and the blood of the people present was boiling.
After 7 hours of fighting, the rats in the pig farm were wiped out by a wave, and at first glance, the rats were frighteningly large, weighing 1 kilogram.
Everyone sorted the rats into piles, the scene was a bit frightening, take an inventory, more than 700 fat and large mice, can fit a truck. The farmer said that it was really helpful to treat the dogs well.
You may feel strange, so many rats, why don't you put some rat poison?
First, the British feel that it is inhumane to use rat poison to drug rats, and the rat poison that can be bought in the Uk takes 48 hours from eating to taking effect, and the whole process makes rats extremely painful, and the British can't bear it.
Well, little meow I believed...
The point is that rats like this pig farm are called "super rats", and ordinary rat poison can't help them at all, at most it is a snack. Use strong medicine, it will also be harmful to people and animals, and it is not safe.
Rattrap Captain Ed Cook said it was completely legal to hunt rats with dogs under the Hunting Act enacted in 2004. He and several other like-minded volunteers set up this public welfare organization, which travels around the country every year, leading dogs to eliminate harm for the people.
Why the Norfolk Terrier?
The Norfolk Terrier is a small hunting dog, native to the United Kingdom, is a breed of hunting dogs with rich hunting experience, the hunting instinct is deeply engraved in their DNA, hunting mice is only a small pediatric for them.
The Norfolk Terrier is actually a working terrier bred on an East Anglo farm in England in the 19th century, with a height of about 25 cm and a weight of only about 5 kg, making it one of the smallest working terriers. Despite its small size, the Norfolk Terrier is fairly sturdy and energetic, with at least 1.5 hours of activity a day, and the key is to be alert and bold, perfect for hunting.
In addition to hunting, Norfolk Terriers are also suitable as companion dogs, they are not aggressive, very friendly and loyal to people and do not like to fight, coupled with a lively and enthusiastic personality, deeply loved by people. However, to raise a Norfolk terrier, the family yard should be large enough, and there should be enough time to walk with it every day, and the energy is too good.
There are also excellent hounds in our country, and there is more than one
Don't envy the foreign moon is particularly round, in fact, ah, our country also has several very good hunting dogs, not worse than others, but now everyone raises foreign dogs, China's local dog breeds are not many people know not many people raise.

At first glance, it is a stray dog, but it is called an all-round hound, on a par with the German Shepherd, and many people were willing to spend thousands of dollars to raise a pure subordinate dog. They have a particularly sensitive sense of smell, strong limbs, are faithful and obedient, and are good helpers for hunters.
Nowadays, the lower division dog is rarely asked, first, the demand for modern hunting has disappeared, and the hair of the lower division dog is relatively messy and the appearance value is low. In this face-looking world, they are destined not to be favored. Nowadays, the price of purebred subordinate dogs has reached tens of thousands, but there is no market.
Guangxi soil hunting
This is Xiao Meow's favorite "earth dog" appearance, which is worthy of the appearance of the local dog breed.
