RAT TERRIER BREEDER IN OREGON
 Hi Folks, we own Rat Terriers (or they own us :) and we're located in NW Oregon. We've had a lot of enjoyment personal enjoyment having these wonderful dogs in our lives, and hope to enjoy many more years with our dogs.
We've been involved with rat terriers since 1999, and had our first litter in 2003. We attended our first UKC conformation show in Longview, WA in February 2003, and these past few years we've focused on improvements within our kennel. We've seen some shining success' and some heartbreak these past few years, and with our lives going in a different direction we feel it's time to cut back or stop breeding for awhile, and just enjoy our dogs as pets.
At a minium, our adult rat terriers are certified for cardiac and patella, with the Orthopedic Foundation For Animals (OFA) and some have their hips/elbows ex-rayed.
Here is a short version of the history of the Rat Terrier, taken from the UKC Rat Terrier Standard:
"The Rat Terrier is an American breed descended from the terriers brought over by English miners and other working class immigrants. These terriers probably included crosses between the Smooth Fox Terrier, the Manchester Terrier and the now extinct white English Terrier. These dogs were used as ratters, and gambling on their prowess in killing rats was a favorite hobby of their owners. Some of these dogs were crossed with Whippets or Italian Greyhounds (for speed) and Beagles (for hunting ability). Eventually, these tough little terriers evolved into today's Rat Terrier"
We've found that this is a breed that has fit wonderfully into our family, and we can't imagine life without them. We like to mix a little of our Irish/Scottish heritage into most of the things we do, and we have a wee bit 'O fun doing it..if you have any questions about our kennel, just send us an email at IrishGlyn@Gmail.com, or give us a call at 503-357-3583.
