Above is Oscar our smallest
Rat Terrier. He looks like a
miniature Fox Terrier, which is
one of the breeds in the Rat
Terrier breed. Below is Lacey.
She is the youngest of the six.


Rat Terrier reaches its growth peak at about 6 to 8 months but does not completely mature until about age 2. Our Rat Terriers have long legs with tricolor markings.  We have miniature and standard Rat Terriers.  Ours are raised together as a family and we are family.  We have group time and one-on-one time with each other.  We hang out at the pool and go for long walks in the woods. There is never a dull moment with all six.

Roxy
 

Roxy weighs 18 pounds. She is lean and runs like a Greyhound, is very competitive and playful.  She loves playing Frisby and does not like to share it. Dazee and Dixee are Roxy’s sisters from a litter after her whelp date.  Roxy is very athletic and though she has been bred and is a great mother, she would rather be hunting, playing Frisby or sunbathing.

Roxy was spayed at age 4 and continues playing Frisby with a passion.

Rex
 

Rex is very obedient and patiently waits his turn for his personal indoor or play time. He has a great temperament and is never aggressive.  He is a great watchdog.  Although Rex was never leash trained, he can be harnessed and leashed to go anywhere with total cooperation. He is a true gentleman in public places and doesn’t seem to be bothered by going into the city which is unusual territory from his norm in the country.

Dazee (L), Dixee (R)
  Dixee and Dazee have developed their personalities.  As sisters they have been raised together, and this has proven to be an advantage for them and their transition into our family. 

Placing a puppy with an older dog will help the puppy develop good habits providing the older dog has been properly trained.  We have used this method with much success, especially for house training.
