Brooks Ratties & TRT's
Welcome to our wonderful world of Rat Terriers and Teddy Roosevelt Terriers.


We are located in West Michigan. Our home is located down a two-track, nestled in the trees and sided by heavy, wooded acreage. The land is shared by black bear,mountain lion,bob cat,coyote,wild turkey,deer,hawk,red fox,and the usual opossum,racoon,skunk,rabbits, and squirrels.


Our dogs have their own fenced back yard to run,explore, and play in. The fence also helps protect them from the wild life. We do not have an outdoor kennel for them to live in, but have two,one for puppies, and one to keep the females in and the males out when the females are in season. That way everyone can be outdoors for play time during the day. All of our dogs and puppies are raised indoors,always sheltered from the severe weather and able to beat us to the cozy spot on the couch.


We also reserve the right not to sell, trade, or re-home, any of our adults,or older pups, or puppies, to anyone for any reason at any time.

Our dogs are also cared for by our trusted,caring,vet and the awesome staff who give the yearly exam and shots when needed.  We like to make sure our dogs patellas are checked and also the heart . We have also started PLL testing now. We try to stay Holistic as possible. We feed our dogs a diet of Blue Holistic deboned lamb and brown rice,  Nature's Variety Instinct- Rabbit, and Instinct - Duck and Turkey, and Taste of The Wild...all varieties. We change our dog food every three months for good all around nutrition. We also do an alternate raw feed. Our whelping mothers are fed a diet of boiled hamburger,rice, cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt,to help with digestion after the whelp. Then slowly add her dog food back into her  diet. We try to avoid all artificial preservatives,corn,wheat,soy, and gluten.


Our litters are whelped in a private room. They are weighed, cleaned, and their picture is taken before they even receive their first meal.They are kept under a heat lamp until their eyes are open to insure they eat properly. From there, they lay on a low heat covered heating pad and mom is allowed to leave and spend some time away from her pups. They are played with and handled several times a day. At three weeks they are introduced to Organic Rice cereal and Esbilac. At four weeks they receive gruel, and at five weeks they will start on just the puppy food,which is Purina One Lamb/rice Healthy Puppy. After they have had their first shots, then we allow everyone to play and visit with the pups. From the first day to the last day these pups are here, they are temperment tested. We try to get everyone of them on the same page before they go to their forever homes. They are all vet examined throughly at least three times before they go to their forever homes. We do limited shipping.


We have produced some beautiful Champions, and Grand Champions, and also bred the #1 Teddy Roosevelt Terrier in the U.S. for 2009, 2010, and 2011.
We are blessed to have had many males and females in the Top Ten that we have bred, and now we are watching the grand dogs make it in the Top Ten as well.

These TRTs are great companion dogs, who want nothing more than to please their owners. They are funny, happy, loving, and have such a great temperament. They are very smart and trainable, and are a true joy to own. They will also hunt squirrel, love to dig up moles, and will rid the premise of any unwanted vermin. So they can hunt, cuddle up on the couch with you, travel well, and also are good with children and the handicapped. I guess one could say they are an exceptional, good, all around dog.  We have been blessed, and we hope you enjoy viewing our Teddy Roosevelt Terriers. Please don't forget to stop by and visit the fun page so you can see how we live with our fur kids.

We have added a couple new members to our family last year. I have always loved the mixed breed small dogs. We can never replace Darby, but we can add to the fun and love that these little guys bring into our lives.
