We no longer have had any rats or mice since we've gotten her... so none of my dogs have ever caught any but I suspect she'll be fine.
As the other users said... mice may try and fight back before being killed, so look out for bites and then you're probably alright.

Gotcha..........your next stop is the daily thread
Come along, there's a good min pin mum.
I don't see how a JRT can be a better 'ratter' than a minpin with the minpin's extremely thin and pointed nose and head? But then look at the abysmal performance of my minpin?
She is EXCELLENT at catching tiny bugs and ladybirds and microscopically sized things that land on the verandah mind you - trouble is she picks them up VERY gently and carefully and brings them INTO THE APARTMENT?
Err.... no Bella that's not what I had in mind!

If the rat was on your property then you should contact the local pest control dept to trap/exterminate them. There are bound to be more.
As John Wayne said in True Grit
"Mr. Rat, I have a writ here that says you are to stop eating our cornmeal forthwith. Now, It's a rat writ, writ for a rat, and this is lawful service of same!"
