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

We are NOT mass producers.
We only have Rat Terrier Puppies
RAT TERRIERS ARE COOL for sale a few times a year.
So, be sure to bookmark us
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.

STAND UP-SPEAK OUT- FIGHT BACK
KnD has a reputation we wear proudly. Because

KnD are health testing Breeders. We test for
all the test suggested by the Rat Terrier parent
club ARTA. We make all our results, good and
bad, public knowledge on OFA. Every dogs
OFA health certified numbers are also
located on their individual web page.

We don't just breed... WE STRIVE.
We strive for happy healthy Rat Terriers that are
conformationally correct per UKC and AKC Breed Standard.



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.

We DO Have Some Litters Planned
Please, inquirer about what your looking for
We might have one
or know where you can get one.

KnD, why do you breed?
KnD breeds because we love this breed. We try our best to improve this breed and to make our next show prospect. Lucky you, because we cannot keep them all so, KnD can offer a good quality Rat Terrier Puppy for sale to you not for profit, but just because we can't keep them all. This is why we only have a handful of breeding dogs and only 2 breeds. We are NOT mass producers. We prefer to do the few dogs and breeds we have justice instead. We breed for quality not quantity.

What You Can Expect

All PET puppies are spayed or neutered prior to leaving Your puppy will be spayed or neutered at the age of 9 weeks old. It will then stay here at KnD until it is 12 weeks old to insure it's health prior to leaving. All puppies are microchipped, wormed and have had a 5 way vaccination at 6 weeks, a 7 way at 9 and 12 weeks. Of all the dogs killed in the road 80% are unaltered males. They believe they are usually out looking for or fallowing unaltered girls. Another good reason to alter your NON-PREFORMANCE PETS!

KnD are ADVOCATES of spaying and neutering your PETS!!!
KnD have worked with rescues and we have seen fisrt hand dogs and puppies from shelters. We can guarantee that not ONE of those puppies and dogs came from altered parents.
This and helping educate the public about responable breeders and fighting puppy mills is our part of being a responsable breeder. In my humble opinion, helping educate John Q, Public about such matters is the very lest that a responsable breeder should do.

*Show and performance homes please inquire further*


KnD babies are well socialized. They are hand raised here in the
living room right beside us. They are handled and played with everyday.
