 The Rat Terrier is an American dog breed with a rich and varied background as an all-around farm dog. These quick, tough little dogs gained their fame controlling vermin and hunting squirrels, hare, and other small game.
Common throughout America on family farms in the 1920s and 30s, today they are generally considered a rare breed. Today's Rat Terrier is a handsome, intelligent, active little dog.
The Rat Terrier is a well-muscled compact dog with a deep chest, strong shoulders, solid neck, and powerful legs. Today they are cherished as a farom helper and as a family pet. |
