My house is behind some small restaurants. I’ve never seen rats in near 40 years I’ve been here. My foliage prevents me from seeing the restaurants and they are relatively quiet. Recently my next door neighbor says he’s been getting rats in his backyard. About a month or so ago my Stratfordshire Terrier was seen shaking something to death. It was a rat. She is relentless at killing rodents. I can go back in one of my sheds and no sign of them. What a great little dog.
I have a Black ‘n Tan Jack Russell name of Bosun. He’s an ace twice over. He’s by pard.
I think you mean Staffordshire. A type of pit-bull terrier.
