Rat Terriers
Our rat terriers have been handpicked for quality bloodlines. Most of our bloodlines can be viewed for each rattie by going into the pedigree for that particular dog. Our dogs are fed an ultra premium food, Taste of the Wild and Nature's Recipe, that meets AAFCO levels for nutrition (this is NOT a recommendation, just a fact). I also cook for my ratties. A happy healthy animal begins with good nutrition. Our pups will have age appropriate inoculation, worming, tails docked and dew claws removed. We do NOT do kennels with our dogs. Our ratties are first and foremost our pets/companions. They are in their dog house (see picture under "fun photos") at night to sleep and are out to run and play on the entire property all day every day. We usually have 3-4 ratties that sleep with us and they all get their turn. We are not "proud" of our kennels because we do not have them. I work at home so our rattie kids are able to play all day right along beside me and some even assist me in my chores! It's important that your rattie be a part of your family. Ratties will not be happy if left alone without attention and love. Ratties dearly love to share your life, home and bed. They are excellent foot warmers! Rat Terriers are very adaptable. They can be jogging with you one minute and sleeping in your lap while you watch TV the next. Just remember though they are a commitment and are very devoted to their family. Do NOT get a puppy on an impulse. Think long and hard before getting any dog.

JUST A DOG.
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or,
"that's a lot of money for just a dog."
They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the
costs involved for "just a dog."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog,"
but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog,"
and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me
comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand
phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust,
and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a
better person.
Because of "just a dog", I will rise early, take long walks and look
longingly to the future.
So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of
all the hopes and dreams of the future,
the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away
from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog",
but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being
"just a man or woman."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog"
just smile...
because they "just don't understand."
