They are great with kids and easy to house train. They are zesty, fun, and full of life. They come in many colors that resemble many different breeds, and vary in size from 7-18 lbs. The smaller ones feel good in your lap, and the larger ones are big enough to maintain their body heat in cooler weather outdoors Rat Terriers love to be with their owners and are also small enough to be a good lap dog. They are a great choice for an active family who would enjoy a tag-along companion. They will follow when you ride a bicycle, ride horseback, go hiking, boating, etc. They are athletic and can easily follow you wherever without assistance. They are also a good guard dog who is alert to the presence of strangers or other vermin. These are generally easier to house train than many toy breeds because they are more confident and less likely to accidentally urinate indoors when nervous or excited.

You would be surprised if you knew how many of these tiny show champions don't live more than 3 years before having liver disease, kidney failure, or other "too small" health problems because their health has been compromised by line breeding for show purposes just to make them look pretty.

A purebred Rat Terrier is the most mentally and physically healthy of all small breeds. It is not uncommon for Rat Terriers to live even up to 25 years.

These are likely to have a much longer life expectancy and be healthier and cheaper to own than most toy and designer breeds. They almost never get diabetes, have seizures, or need allergy shots like many toy breeds often do. Any health problem in a dog which requires regular veterinary visits can cost thousands of dollars over the life expectancy of the dog.

Rat Terriers are one of the most intelligent breeds and some are even too smart for their own good. They can be loyal to a fault and many have given their lives to protect those that they are loyal too.

They are easily trained for show, obedience, working, herding or hunting dogs.

Ratties are not yappers but will bark if they sense there is trouble or when a stranger is around. They however are very social and once they find that their owners approve of the stranger they will be the first to shake their hand for a pet on the head.

These little guys are very curious and can get into predicaments that they may need help getting out of. They've been known to climb trees, climb ladders, vault fences and end up in some of the most unusual places.
