I would like to ask for your help in the following question (which is meant
ABSOLUTLY seriosly):
A friend of mine is owner of a yorkshire-terrier and absolutly convinced
that this kind of dog was used in earlier times in English pits (in
Yorkshire) in order to EXPEL RATS!
I must admit that I had to laugh when hearing this - imaging the rats
laughing, too, when seeing a yorkshire-terrier. However, I promised to clear
this up - what I'm trying to do now.
So: have YOU ever heard or read about dogs, especially terriers, working as
"rat-hunter" in mines?
I'm highly anxious for an answer and hope to hear from you, soon.
Thank you very much.
Greetings from the mining-city Gelsenkirchen, Germany
