r/ratterriers

The verdict is in, breeders told me 3/4 rat terrier and 1/4 chihuahua. With parentage paperwork as well. Way off. He even LOOKS like a TFT to me. 😂 I learned recently that it's likely his paper work was falsified because he had two different mothers listed on different pages. And his projected adult size is way off for the mom they tried to convince me was his mom. But it lines up with a TFT given his vet said about 6.5-7 pounds or so for his adult size. I don't really care if I'm honest, I'm just extremely happy his genetics are completely healthy!!! I also found some family members of his through the wisdom panel! It's so cool 💖💖💖

I think these dogs have springs built in. I have never known such a bouncy dog 🤣 he will jump clear over my head if he feels like it.

Introducing Pedro, a rat terrier / chihuahua cross who gave up his career as a Mexican Street Dog to come and live in Canada with me.

I rescued Luci a few years ago, and I honestly never expected how much she would mean to me.

She’s getting old now and has lost a few teeth, so her little tongue sticks out most of the time. She sleeps a little more and walks a little slower, but she’s still the same sweet girl.

Sometimes I look at her and realize how quickly time has passed.

To anyone else, she might just look like an old dog with a few missing teeth and a little tongue sticking out.

To me, she’s the most beautiful girl in the world.

I wish I could keep her this way forever...

Maez loves a good army crawl after getting her harness off lol

Man I love these guys....... Skip Bruiser (Male 2.5) and Miss Soffe (Female 8 months) 😎

I could watch her nap all day long 🥰

The aliens labeled her accurately.

Doo hates hotels but loves the camper. He will be 19 in a couple weeks. His favorite things are Vienna Sausage and hamburger balls.

I could not stop laughing, that’s why she looks embarrassed

Here's some action pics from our State Campground weekend with his flirt pole.

She was caught red-pawed flagrantly splooting!

My boy (2yr old NM Rat terrier x Boston) is already my scent detection dog in 3 organizations, he does chaseability, sprinters, trick dog training and i figured why not introduce him to a dock diving pool and see if i can get him swimming. Well here we go! Guess we will be starting another sport! Maybe by the end of next summer I will get some jumps off the dock!

Gracie and Cleo.
Coming in after chasing a roach outside.
She really wants that one roach she can’t reach.

This is Lyra. She is the best. We think she is rat terrier mixed with something… whippet, miniature greyhound, fiest? She is 16 pounds, long legs, skinny waist, barrel chest, INCREDIBLY fast. The best girl.
