OH NO, SAY IT CAN'T BE LITTER!! (April 7, 2013)
Hello our little boo-boo's!! They're here, three adorable little black tri girls, born April 20, 2013!!
Girl 1 - Oopsie Daisey Girl 2 - Boo-Boo Girl 3 - Uh-oh!!
Reservations have been accepted on two of the girls, picks will be made after I make my pick, Jessica and Mr./Mrs.Red are very excited to add one of these adorable girls to their family.
A brain fart, a senior moment, the inability to constantly have two dogs in your mind, forgetting for a moment where they are, when you said one thing but your husband heard another - guess what you get as a consequence? You get a litter of puppies!!!!
The good thing is that this cross produced a beautiful litter 2 1/2 years ago, one of them, "Courage" has won her Grand Championship in UKC and is working on her AKC Certificate of Merit. They are awesome grown-ups now, with incredible temperments, beauty, brains and prey drive.
You can see more info on Libby and Trooper in their albums.
Puppy's will be AKC/UKC registered, tails docked, dew claws removed, microchipped, vaccines, de-wormings and raised with lots of socialization and love every day from their wonderful mom and us.
And I know they are all going to be wonderful beautiful puppies, black tris for sure, and we're going to love them to pieces!!
Check back often to see current pics, I try to take them once a week.
If you're interested in one of these girls, please let me know so we can do a puppy application and deposit.

Puppies are here!! Let the music begin!! (July 9, 2012) * Now in southern California
Click on thumbnail to enter album
MUSIC!! Our family is very music oriented, as far back as I can remember family members played piano, violin and were vocalists. I was a concert pianist, my son plays trumpet and is the director of the Coronado Big Band. He also plays at Moonlight Theatre in Vista, CA, playing lead trumpet for their musical productions. Our daughter-in-law plays clarinet and is a member of the San Diego Concert Band. I can hardly wait for our grandchildren to begin their musical life, they love music, love to dance and sing. Hopefully it's in the near future.
Born in the evening on Monday, October 15, starting at 6:35 pm and ending.....?? We thought she was done, when we got up in the morning there was another little boy!! Seven (7) puppies, four (4) boys and three (3) girls, a black bi, 4 black tri's and 2 chocolates.
The daddy is:
UKC CH Wild Oak's Anson St. Church Black bi 13 1/2" Patellas and cardiac normal, pending OFA PLL Clear Sire: UKC CH Turn Turbo Rugostar at Wild Oak Dam: UKC CH Bogart Porsche Perfecta Wild Oak, CD, RN, CGC

To see more of the parents to this litter please check out their individual albums.
This is a VERY exciting litter!! A planned breeding of these two wonderful dogs that are structurally sound, have been medically tested, have wonderful temperments loads of drive. They are breed ring winners in AKC and UKC, Libby is somewhat retired from the show ring but Church continues to dazzle the judges in all venues. They will be athletes, strong, loving, intelligent family companions. We know we've got some show puppies in this litter and hope to place those appropriately. We anticipate that they will be 13+ish inches and 14-15 pounds of unlimited happiness.

Wild Oak Rat Terriers (March 21, 2005)
Click on the thumbnail picture to enter the album.
Now in southern California!!
* * Welcome to Wild Oak Rat Terriers, we're glad you stopped by and hope you enjoy our albums. We are a small breeder of Rat Terriers, located in Campo, California, that's East San Diego County in the high desert. We live on 93 acres, a fantastic place to raise dogs, with plenty of room to run, hunt and explore.
At Wild Oak we specialize in large mini's to small standards, emphasis on temperament, health, quality, conformation, structural correctness, beauty, brains and prey drive.
Our puppies are raised in the house, with cats, chickens and lots of socialization and love. When the pups are old enough to venture outside, we go for walks on the ranch with their Mom and they learn about lots of fun stuff!!
They are very well adjusted, outgoing, happy and have strong self esteems.
We enjoy participating with our dogs in performance events and conformation competition. A Rat Terrier’s main love in life is to be with their people, so they enjoy competing as well, pets first, show dogs second. Rat Terriers are a hardy healthy breed, strong, active, happy and funny. They are the ultimate family companion, happy to lay around all day, ready to go in an instant. They are very sensitive and easy to train, enjoy participating with their people, and are happiest when they’re with them.
Their tails are docked, dew claws removed, de-worming starts at 2 weeks of age, they are given their first immunization at 8 weeks. They are microchipped, and go to their forever homes with a Veterinarian exam, health guarantee and pedigree.
Our dogs are UKC and AKC registered.
We've made it!! Effective July 1, 2010, Rat Terriers advanced in AKC from FSS to the Miscellaneous Group!! What does this mean to us? It means we can finally show in conformation at a AKC show!! So, it's just a matter of time until we're fully recognized in the Terrier Group!!
A million thanks to the people who have so diligently worked on this project, especially Pam Mills, it's her perserverance that has made it happen.

This is Our New Home (September 30, 2011)
This is our new home, 93 acres in the high desert area of East San Diego County, Campo, California. There's a lot of work to be done on this property, mostly cleaning up the junk that was dumped here by the previous owner. Lt. John W. Finn, from 1958 to 2010. I use the term "junk" loosely as this would include some relics and antiques. A lot of history goes along with this property, it's going to be fun and a challenge to make it our home.
David will also be helping remodel the two story home, that's right up his alley, he loves doing that kind of work.
We were the Beverly Hillbillies making the final trip to Campo, with chickens, dogs, cats, fish and plants. I actually have a rocking chair to put in the bed of our truck but decided to ride inside in air conditioning, otherwise I could have rocked my way to our new home!

Silver Bay Kennel Club AKC show in Del Mar, CA, Church went Best of Breed both days!! Way to go boy!! We're very proud of him.

Yep, here he is, "The Church," I don't know when I've been so smitten with a puppy, but this guy is unbelievable and owns my heart.
He's started his UKC show career and is doing very well, he'll make his AKC debut early next year. We have high hopes for this gorgeous boy, I think he's going to be a major force to be reckoned with.
Check back often to watch Churchill mature and face all his new adventures.

This is Porsche "what a dog" Littleton, she's our baby and our constant companion. During the day she gardens with her Mom (varmints beware) and is the CEO of the Rat Terrier Security Company. She enjoys exploring and hunting with her dog family, Gabby, Trooper, Libby and Chevelle, aka the "Terrier Terrorists." She loves to go shopping at Home Depot, Orchard Supply and especially to pet stores.
At night she is happy hanging out with her Mom, Dad and doggie family, sharing a bite of their dinner, watching a little TV and burrowing under the covers at bed time.
Porsche earned her AKC Rally Novice degree July 2010, it was lots of fun to compete with her in that event, now we're moving on to the next level in the Rally competition. She also earned her AKC CGC title, "Canine Good Citizen," and she certainly is just that.
Porsche's parents are T-Bone and Spring, thank you so much Deborah Bogart for this most awesome girl. She certainly started us on the right foot in Rat Terrier land.
Rat Terriers were accepted into the AKC FSS program, mid 2005. On January 1, 2006 they were approved to compete in the AKC performance events, such as, obedience, rally, tracking, and agility.
January 28, 2006 Porsche debut Rat Terriers at the prestigious Golden Gate Kennel Club show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. She was brilliant, got a first leg towards her CD degree and placed 4th too!! Two more legs were earned on February 26, thus earning her CD degree!! and are we ever proud of her!!
Porsche was in training for agility and loved it, we probably won't be competing in this event as she's getting a little older for the jumping. We still play at home on our own agility obstacles, she has a blast.

We Are The Champions !! At Wild Oak! (September 5, 2008)
Click on the thumbnail to enter the album
***
Here are the dogs that we have bred and/or own that have become Champions and/or Grand Champions.
It's with great pride that we share them with you. They truly are wonderful, great family companions, our babies, our best friends, our partners.
Many of the dogs we've raised are show quality and could win their championships easily. However, not all puppy homes are interested in showing, so those little "show dogs" are living up to their forever family's expections, and are "winning" hearts and love every day.

I've really enjoyed searching for and finding Vintage/Antique pictures of Rat Terriers. Some of the dogs in these pics are surely Fox Terriers or Jack Russell Terriers, but close enough. Hope you enjoy and if you run across any artwork that's Rat Terrier/Terrier specific, I'd love to see it.

Miscellaneous Items of Interest (August 20, 2007)
Everybody knows you should get your puppy from "a good breeder." But how can you tell who's a good breeder? Raising good puppies makes some very specific demands, so there are signs, we'll call them traffic lights, that the careful buyer can spot.
Click here to learn "How to Recognize a Good Breeder"
There's so much to know about taking care of a puppy; there's also much to understand about training a puppy. How do you begin? You begin by first learning about what makes a puppy a puppy - what he needs, what he responds to, what he can do. This link then is your introduction to basic puppy.

The great dog food debate- the good the bad and the ugly. How does one choose? If you follow television, you may believe that the companies that advertise there have foods full of tasty meat and chock full of great vitamins and minerals, but is it true? Not so much. In the world of dog food it is buyer beware, yet the average person picking up a supermarket brand of dog food is unaware of the hazard. This does not make them bad owners – they are simply uninformed owners. Who knew you needed to research dog food more diligently than your own food?
Click here to read a great article about how to select your dog food
Over the years many pet owners and Veterinarians have become concerned about the potentially harmful practice of annual vaccination. As immune disease, cancer and chronic disease in canines increases, new studies on the duration of immunity are being done.
All 27 veterinary schools in North America are in the process of changing their protocols for vaccinating dogs and cats. Those that are working for change have a long road ahead of them.
Old habits die hard; fortunately things are starting to change for the better thanks to a few dedicated Veterinarians and researchers who are willing to make a difference.

The Rainbow Bridge (June 15, 2007) * Dedicated to our loved ones who are waiting for us there, we miss you very much and think of you everyday.
Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge......
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
