Description

I am a Rat Terrier puppy! My Mom is Twinkie and my Dad is Oreo. I was born on May 6th and I will be ready for my forever home on July 1st! I have been family raised on a farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and de-wormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Jesse Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday. Rat Terriers are intelligent, energetic, and affectionate companions known for their loyal nature and lively personalities. Originally developed as versatile farm dogs, they excel at hunting vermin while also thriving as loving family pets. These compact, athletic dogs are highly trainable and eager to please, making them a great choice for active individuals and families alike. Rat Terriers are known for their alertness, curiosity, and playful spirit, often forming strong bonds with their owners and enjoying participation in family activities. Their short, easy-care coat requires minimal grooming, and their adaptable size makes them suitable for a variety of living situations when provided with proper exercise and mental stimulation. Confident yet friendly, Rat Terriers are excellent watchdogs without being overly aggressive. Whether accompanying you on outdoor adventures, learning new tricks, or curling up beside you at the end of the day, a Rat Terrier brings devotion, intelligence, and endless entertainment to the home. Their combination of athletic ability, affectionate temperament, and charming personality has made them a beloved breed for generations.

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
