I guess they were just doing what comes naturally... I think I remember reading that Yokies were bred long ago to kill mice and rats on ships. Anyone know anything about that?? |
Yup-- well I don't know about ships for sure, but I know they were used in the coal mines and textile mills around the 1860's and 70's. They also used to have rat killing contests and Huddersfield Ben, who was the foundation sire of the breed, won many of these.
