Testing & More
This ablum contains information on OFA, CHIC and testing for those national data bases, our terms and what you as a buyer can expect.
Testing does not mean that every puppy we breed is perfect. What is does mean is that we are trying. We are trying to improve our beloved breeds so that maybe someday..health issues will be less and less of a concern in our breeds.Type "A" or Type"B"?:
KnD breeds Miniature Rat Terriers and what some of you refer to as Type "A". The fact is there is no more Type "A" or "B" in the UKC Breed Standard. Type "B" branched off into their own breed and are now called Teddy Roosevelt Terriers. As well as the American Hairless Terriers. They use to be a Hairless Rat Terrier until they too branched off into thier own breed.
Characteristics:
"The Rat Terrier is an energetic, alert dog whose curiosity and intelligence make him easy to train. The Rat Terrier has sometimes been described as having a dual personality. He is a fearless, tenacious hunter with seemingly unlimited energy. When he is not hunting, however, the Rat Terrier is an exceptionally friendly companion, getting along well with children, other dogs, and even cats. Rat Terriers enjoy human companionship immensely and will enthusiastically share any activity with their owners. Rat Terriers should not be sparred during conformation judging."
