Description

This litter of three Rat Terrier puppies (all boys) shows the compact, athletic build and alert expression the breed is known for, with coloring ranging from tan-and-white to black-and-tan tricolor. Rat Terriers are intelligent, energetic, and famously good-natured, making lively companions that also retain a strong prey drive and terrier spirit from their ratting origins. They do well in active households that can provide regular exercise and mental stimulation, and tend to be loyal, affectionate family dogs once socialized early. These puppies come from the original breeder, are viewable with their mother, have been health checked, and their parents have been health tested. They are also up to date on vaccinations. Reach out for more information on any of the puppies. Black tricolor male

Pros

Exceptionally long-lived — a healthy Rat Terrier can live 15 to 18 years, among the longest of any dog breed
Authentic American breed with AKC recognition and a rich history on US farms and homesteads
Very low grooming requirements — the short, smooth coat needs only a weekly brush
Friendly and adaptable temperament — more sociable with strangers than many working terrier breeds

Cons

Strong prey drive makes the breed unsafe around unsupervised small animals including cats and rabbits
Independent terrier mind requires consistent, patient training — recall is unreliable in unfenced environments
Prolific digger and escape artist — secure fencing with a buried base or dig-guard is essential
Can be vocal and energetic indoors without sufficient daily exercise and mental stimulation
