Welcome to the forum. Pleased to say my 13yr old Jack Russell is still a good ratter despite her failing eyesight. If you can get a Jack Russell who can learn to get rats and not bother finches you will go a long way to solving the problem. The are vigilant hunters, and the getting of rats comes naturally to them.

I have a 13 year old jack russell with failing eyesight and is deaf as a post but the only way he could kill a rat is to snore it to death!!!!

Glenng,
I thought it was you, the clues fell together, gouldians, 1965, Ulladulla, "Glenng". Had heard over the years (many) that you were down that way. Good to have you on board. I know that Mad Dog is at Ungarie and was into finches before he left Sydney. Last caught up with him at Jimmy Taylors funeral. I gather "Fezza" is Glen Fairbairn. Give me a call, would be great to hear from you. 0416912176.
Cheers
