About Rat Terrier Dogs

Rat Terriers are small, versatile American farm dogs bred to catch rats and other vermin. They are intelligent, athletic, and surprisingly adaptable, excelling as both working dogs and family companions. Their smooth coat and muscular build give them a sleek, athletic appearance.

Adopting a Rat Terrier brings an energetic, affectionate companion who is loyal to their family. They are good with children, friendly with other dogs, and have a cheerful, outgoing personality. Their moderate size and low-maintenance coat make them easy to care for.
