However, rat baiting was not enforced and ratting competitions came to the forefront as a gambling sport. At one time in London there were at least 70 rat pits. Faster dogs were preferred. Rat killers bit but once. The process was described as "rather like a sheepdog keeping a flock bunched to be brought out singly for dipping," where the dog would herd the rats together, and kill any rats that left the pack with a quick bite.
