My experience with working terriers. The ferrets were in residence long before the first dog arrived. First to arrive was a Jackrussel X Whippet easy going and knows how to keep out of the ferrets way, next to arrive was a Jackrussel as a puppy she would mix with the ferrets, eat and drink from the same bowl and even share their bed. Now the grey hairs are appearing and the ferrets are still acting like kits, her tolerance of the ferrets is getting a little low. The last to arrive were two Lancashire heelers, the bitch used to takes care of any young ferrets, going so far as to kid napping any young ferrets when mum was not around Tony. President, SMWR inc.
