Description

These pups have that spark you'd expect from a Rat Terrier and Fox Terrier mix, the kind of bright-eyed, into-everything energy that makes you laugh even when they're getting into mischief. They're playful and curious in equal measure, which means they're the type to follow you from room to room just to see what's going on, and then curl up against you once they've had their fill of adventure. Their expressions carry a lot of personality, alert and attentive in the way that both Rat Terriers and Fox Terriers tend to be, the sort of face that looks like it's always working something out. That natural alertness and intelligence are hallmarks of both breeds, and in a companion dog it tends to translate to a pup that picks up on your moods, stays engaged with the people around it, and genuinely wants to be involved in whatever is happening. They're the kind of dogs that reward attentive owners and thrive when they feel like part of the household rather than separate from it. Both mom and dad are smaller dogs around 12-15 pounds, so these pups should stay on the compact side as they grow, which makes them a nice fit for all kinds of living situations. They've been dewormed and their shots are up to date, so they're in good health and ready to head home with someone who's been waiting for the right pup to come along. We're a small family setup and we care about where each of these little ones lands, so we're happy to have you come out and meet them and their mom in person. If you've got questions or want to set up an appointment to see them, reach out and we'll find a time that works for you.

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
