Our Rat Terriers are some of best
Purebred Miniature Rat Terriers in the country.

We only have Rat Terrier Puppies
for sale a few times a year.

and come back often.
We DO NOT breed "toy - tiny tots".
We breed MINIATURE Rat Terriers.
We DO NOT breed "merle"
Only pet registries register
toys - tiny tots and the merle pattern.See more here.
We breed to the UKC/AKC Standards.
The 2 most reputable registries in the USA
The standards tells EVERYONE
what a purebred Rat Terrier should look like.
It is true that UKC (United Kennel Club) was
not the first registry to accept the Rat Terrier
as a breed. UKC accepted the Rat Terriers
into their registry January 1, 1999 and since then
there has been great improvement in making
Rat Terriers more consistent in type. UKC
tightened up the standard trying to elminate
appleheads, fine bone and by not allowing patterns
and colors that more indicative to hybrid cross
breeds than they are to purebred Rat Terriers.
The purebred Rat Terriers have improved SO much with
the reputable breeders striving to meet those standards.
They are looking more and more like one breed
now and not 4 different ones. It's easier to change
a standard than it is to breed to it. Reputable breeds
have made great strides and have worked
hard... they still are.

CHIC (Canine Health Information Center), works in conjunction with OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) and the breeds parent club. It shows that a dog has been tested for all the test that the breeds parent club suggest as most important test for that breed.


There is no purebred merle Rat Terrier.
Forgetting the health issues associated with merle,
the pattern happened on the sceen in the late
1990's to early 2000 when UKC (United Kennel Club) was
showing intrest in accepting Rat Terrier into thier registry.
At that time another breed had to be introduced in.
This makes them hybrids not purebreds.
Merle breeders will tell you that it is ALL
good news about merle that all health issues
associated with merle are nothing
but "scare tatics"
and it's all "malarkey". A&M and all the
other research done on merle, was NOT so there could be
"scare tatics". They are actual factual studies.
