10 Dog Breeds Ideal for Catching Rats
10 Best Dog Breeds To Catch And Kill Rats
I used to believe that the cat was the universal pet for catching mice, rats, and other rodents. Or maybe I have watched too many Tom and Jerry episodes. It turns out, cats are not that willing to chase their prey unless they feel like it. I tried once to make my cat catch a rat in the garden — she completely ignored the rat and me, and just and continued laying in the grass.
Then, I did some research online and discovered that cats will only occasionally bringing home a rodent prey just to brag about it, but they’re not as prone to catching them. Dogs, on the other hand, are the ideal solution to any rat problem. There are certain breeds that were specially created to control the rat population.
1 – Rat Terrier
2 – Cairn Terrier
3 – Yorkshire Terrier
4 – Norfolk Terrier
5 – Jack Russell Terrier
6 – West Highland White Terrier
7 – Lakeland Terrier

9 – Dachshund
10 – German Pinscher
