Yes, they are not immune to Weil's disease, cats however are.

I do think the possibility of training a pack of attack cats is a little remote though.:biggrin:

Iv'e worked with a couple of lads that have had it (both worked with waste water/sewage). Its a nasty thing to catch. We found one of the lads unconscious on Thetford sewage works and rushed him to hospital.....From what we were told it was touch and go if he would live......He made a full recovery

There was a well known falconer a good few years ago caught weil's and died from it . Had many a good day ferreting them with the terriers , innoculations cover lepto i'm sure , dogs will be fine

Ps as someone has already said i think, treat them with respect as any other quarry they are fascinating and clever animals
