*** What are Rat Terriers Like? ***

Rat Terriers really are "like a big dog in a small dog body"! They seem to forget they are a small dog - except when they try to lounge with their family members on the chair, couch or under the blankets on the bed! Rat Terriers will alert bark to unexpected sounds at the doors or windows, yet they aren't typically "yappy". Rat Terriers are a durable breed that can be handled by young children (with proper socialization and supervision) without fear of injuring the dog.
