My journey with dogs began back in the 1900’s. My heart dogs are American Staffordshire Terriers.
Over the years I’ve participated in many different dog sports in AKC, UKC, WCRL and single sport organizations.
I have found Happy Ratters to be so much fun, whether I’m judging, training, trialing or spectating.
It really utilizes your dogs natural hunting abilities along with the teamwork
in owner/handlers working with them. An owner/handler is responsible for reading their dogs tells after they have found a rat(s)
and direct them to complete other obstacles in the ring. Happy Ratters utilizes an urban type setting incorporating
clean garbage – bags, boxes, furniture, childrens toys, tires, etc. Rats are not harmed as they are kept in safe vessels for the searches.
