"Three's a Charm" Puppies Have Arrived!

Seeking a great agility or pet home for a white/black/tan tri-colored, outgoing female puppy from the Kali and Buzzy litter whelped March 3, 2008! This little girl is ready to leave and is ideal for agility - has had 1st vaccinations, wormed, vet checked. Kudos will likely mature to about 12 1/2 to 13 inches tall (expected to remain a miniature), weighing about 12 to 13 lbs.

This litter will be registered with both UKC (as a Purple Ribbon litter) and AKC-FSS (AKC Foundation Stock Service). Both sire and dam are health screened with CHIC certification (OFA hips, heart, patellas). They are both UKC Grand Champions and have both been on the UKC Top Ten list for 2 years during their show careers. Kali, the dam, is a Best in Multi-Breed Show winner. The sire, Buzzy, was the UKC #1 Rat Terrier in 2006, and has earned 7 career Best in Multi-Breed Show wins, in addition to 7 career Reserve BIMBS wins! All our puppies have their tails docked/dew claws removed, and are vaccinated/wormed/vet-checked/written guarantee prior to leaving in early May.

Past offspring have earned Grand Champion/Champion titles, competed in agility (eligible to compete in AKC!), trained in narcotics searching, and have made great family companions! The offspring are typically 12 1/2 to 14 inches tall, weighing about 12 - 16 lbs when mature.

UKC 2007 Top Ten Results Are In!

*** Two Ratitatt Rat Terriers are on the List! ***

Ratitatt Rat Terriers is proud to announce our own bred-by dog, Jeter (Raised/Trained/Handled/Spoiled Rotten by owner Andrea Werner), made it to the UKC Top Ten list for 2007! GRCH 'PR'Ratitatt All Abuzz About Jeter BIMBS RBIMBS CGC (aka "Jeter") is ranked #6 among all Rat Terriers across the country competing in the United Kennel Club!

Jeter's sire, GRCH King Pen RB Buzzabout Ratitatt BIS RBIS BIMBS RBIMBS CGC (aka "Buzzy") also had a remarkable year. We couldn't resist bringing Buzzy out of semi-retirement and campaigning for just 4 months in 2007 from late July through late November. With such limited showing for the year, Buzzy amazed us yet again with finishing the year being ranked #3 on the UKC Top Ten list (ranked #1 in 2006 when campaigned for a full year)! Although training and handling is part of the formula, it also takes a dog with correct type and structure to the written UKC standard, excellent movement, good conditioning, and a charismatic personality to win with consistency under a large variety of judges with some tough competiton - that's what Jo Ann Draper and Sherry Hendrix from King Pen has produced in Buzzy!

Ratitatt Rat Terriers does not operate a kennel. We have 5 quality UKC Grand Champion Rat Terriers (Buzzy, Kali, Briar, Skittles, Abby) living with us inside our central Ohio home that we enjoy training and showing as a hobby - not a business... Even our children participate in showing our Rat Terriers on occasion.

Ratitatt Rat Terriers was founded by Valerie Luchsinger as a hobbyist beginning in 2003 with our first Rat Terrier, a female puppy named Kali (GRCH King Pen's Kalifornia Ratitatt, BIMBS). We've been so pleased with Kali and her accomplishments that we later purchased our foundation sire, Buzzy (GRCH King Pen RB Buzzabout Ratitatt, BIS, RBIS, BIMBS, RBIMBS, CGC). Both these dogs live in our home and have proven themselves in the conformation ring, with honors of being on the UKC Top Ten list for 4 years in a row (Kali was #8 and #9 in 2005 and 2004, Buzzy is ranked #1 in 2006 and #3 in 2007)!

Woody in Agility Competition - A Dog that Does it All!

Ratitatt Rat Terriers strive to show and develop Rat Terriers with excellent structure, great looks, temperament and health. We are continually trying to improve the breed based on general correct canine structure and the written UKC and AKC-FSS breed standards. Dogs from our bloodline typically are very intelligent, willing to please, have strong prey drive, yet are easy to live with in the home, making great family pets. When we choose to breed a litter on great occasion, we strive to produce a well-rounded, healthy working and companion dog. Our offspring are currently active in the conformation ring, agility, narcotics searching on the police force, and just being loving house dogs.
