Tried to do research first but had trouble finding much relevant info from good sources.
My parents were talking about getting an outdoor cat to help with rodent control in their outbuildings. I talked to them a bit about the harm that free-roaming cats can do, and mentioned I've heard that a working terrier could be a better solution. However, it's not something I know much about. They're interested in that option so I said I'd try to find more info for them.
Does anyone have/know where I can find info on that? I can provide more specifics on their situation if needed.
Most of what I found was barn hunt info, or stuff from pest control providers who take their dogs with them on jobs (most of the latter was just info for their customers on how the dogs work). My parents would want a dog that would live as an outdoor working dog to keep the mouse population down. Looking for info on how to raise & train such a dog, and how to care for it as an adult/what they would need to have pup live safely and comfortably as an outdoor dog.
