Re: Working ferrets in fiction, ratting with ferrets

text/plain (15 lines) 
For those curious about how ferrets were used in rat catching there
is now a reprint of the 1911 book "Studies In the Art of Rat Catching -
With Additional Notes on Ferrets and Ferreting, Rabbiting and Long
Netting" by H.C. Barkley. It does talk a bit about training the dogs
not to attack the ferrets. The book is available on Amazon and also
available from the library through interlibrary loan if your library
does not own the book (that's how I first found it)
