RaganRat Terrier Kennel is located south of Knoxville, near the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in Greenback, Tennessee. We raise and show Rat Terriers and American Hairless Terriers. We may have 2 to 4 litters available during the year. All adults are OFA certified and health tested. Our puppies are imprinted daily, litter box trained and well-adjusted, happy puppies.

Not only are the dogs family gems and pampered Show Dogs, but also farm working animals. We welcome visitors. We do ship puppies, but if possible, we like to meet new owners. Many times our clients schedule a mini-vacation and tour Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park when picking up a puppy. Depending on where you live, we can try to help arrange delivery since we travel to dog shows.

Rat Terrier CalendarOur very own Keyno is ON THE COVER of the 2013 Rat Terrier Browntroutt calendar. This is the third year Keyno has been in Browntroutt calendars. Keyno's coloration is chocolate and white. You will rarely see such deep, dark chocolate. Keyno is a UKC Champion and has his Lure Coursing title. His registered name is CH CA Raganrat Key Signature.

We're also proud to be part of the Rat Terrier Magabook that hit the stands July 2006. Special thanks to writers Susan McCullough and Farrell R. Clancy for including us in the articles “The Rattie Resume” and “Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Moe”. Dog Fancy, December 2007, includes the Rat Terrier and puppy photos, by Diane Lewis, which the litter was sired by one of our very own homebred boys.

It's a pleasure to share our dogs and dog tales with others. We love to see and hear the happiness rat terriers provide new owners. If you want to show and win prizes, go hunting, are handicapped in need of a companion service dog, or just need a friend, we have the perfect dog!

If you were a BIRD, would you live HERE? If you would, please  and share it with friends. Thank you!


High winds and a tornado blew trees down on our property during Spring storms of 2011 and 2012. Rather than push the trees and limbs to a burn pile, I began to repurpose the beautiful red cedar wood into bird houses. My eco-friendly homes mimic a natural habitat and blend well into any garden or make a conversation piece in your home. If placed outside, the house should attract nesting birds and also provide shelter for birds during inclement weather. I never use house blueprints.


After I rip the wood, the shapes and wood grains inspire me. My first impression of what I see is the basis for most designs. Examples are the fronts of the 3 churches and the bird and heart (see below). My birdhouses are genuinely unique; no two are the same. They could be similar, but never the same.


The houses are well built, sturdy and covered in clear polyurethane to maintain the red color. Without the poly, the wood will turn gray with time. The houses are constructed with finish nails, caulk, glue, mosses, metals, river rock, tiles, glasses and many eclectic elements. They are ventilated and care has been taken so baby chicks don’t get wet from roof leaks. The houses are easy to hang.


Cedar is highly resistant to decay and attack by insects, including termites. Cedar is said to be a natural insect repellent (fleas/ticks), therefore, I use the cedar shavings from the cut wood in my yard. Red cedar has a distinctive scent; the birdhouse interiors are very aromatic. The silver-brown bark is used on several of my bird house roofs. The bark may peel off in thin strips. The birds may use pieces of bark and some of the mosses in nest construction.


Eastern Red Cedar has thin, golden to white sapwood, while the heart of the wood is red to deep reddish-brown. The sapwood may be in stripes, alternating with stripes of the red heartwood. You’ll find a lot of RED coloration in the majority of my creations. All birdhouses are handmade in eastern Tennessee / USA near the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. If you like one of the houses marked “SOLD”, I’ll be happy to make something similar for you.

WE ARE THRILLED that Keyno will appear in the 2012 Rat Terrier calender by Browntrout. He also appeared in the 2011 Rat Terrier Calender. Congratulations to Close Encounters on beautiful photos!

Professional photographer Jeannie Harrison of Close Encounters of the Furry Kind was in Knoxville for a three day professional photo shoot. Two of our dogs and one we co-own, were invited to attend the "Beautiful Dogs" campaign. Jeannie operates a stock photo agency in Deep Gap, NC. Her work has been regularly published in a number of magazines including Dog Fancy, Dogs for Kids, Popular Dogs, Dogs USA, Puppies USA, Dog World, AKC Gazette and Just Labs magazines. CEFK also works with a number of calendar companies. To read more about Close Encounters of the Furry Kind visit www.cefkphotos.com
