We are located near the top of Warren Mountain in Roxbury Vermont.
Because they are our pets, our Rat terriers are raised in our home with our family.
We are not breeding just to offer "pets for sale" or "Beautiful Show Dogs" we breed to preserve the natural characteristics of the breed. By breeding to the UKC standard and for good health, temperament and hunting ability, we have seen our puppies move on to be great pets, great farm dogs and we've even had some nice show dogs out there. It is our pleasure to share our dogs with you & hope you will take time to see our photos and if you're interested in talking "Rat Terriers" we would love to hear from you.
Our dogs usually grow to be 10-15" in height. Mini-Small standard size according to the UKC registry.

After searching for a pet health insurance that looked like a GOOD deal, we decided that Embrace would make a good choice. This program covers breed related health issues, catastrophic illness and injury and also has a wellness/dental care program. Prices for Rat Terrier dogs start at a low monthly rate of less than $15, and go up based on a custom coverage selected by you. Don't take my word for it, click on the link below to get a quote!

I saw a television infomercial for these new indoor doggy potties. I had to giggle, but then thought that this might be an interesting way to house break puppies! So we're going to give it a try. The price is fairly reasonable too!
Looking for a great gift? Want to capture your pet in a unique way? I love the Moses Art site, they do great work! Also check out All Pets considered, you can search products by breed name, and find some really cool gifts that way too!

1 Peter 1 23For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 24For,
"All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
25but the word of the Lord stands forever."

This page was created to put a face to an issue that has been ticking like a time bomb in the Rat Terrier breed for a while now...
Below are some links to explain what PLL is, and how it's treated. Ladybug's story and some links about how breeders can get away from this issue with the new DNA testing that is available. Prior to just a month ago (Oct. 2009) there was NO test, and no way of knowing other than anecdotal evidence whether the issue was in a line, or even how it was inherited. Now we know that A. It's a autosomal recessive, and B. that it is something we can breed away from IF we test and are careful not to cross carriers.
I strongly recommend pet insurance, if you only have one or two dogs this might help you in the long run, for less $ in some cases, than a bag of kibble, a policy premium for Rat Terriers is fairly inexpensive at the moment. The program below offers coverage for Specialists, ER visits, and Breed specific health issues that can sometimes cost thousands of dollars. No networks so no worries about needing a referral to get to the ER or specialist. This is the best plan I've found so far, if you have something better tell us about it by signing the guest book below. Thanks!
Ladybug's family, Justus (14) Faith (10), Clarence (18mos)& Laura are asking for prayers and help for Ladybug. She's more than a dog, she's a family member. If you can spare a few bucks to send her way...it would mean the world to them. It may help keep her on medication, or if enough people can help her, it may get her the surgery and follow up she needs to continue with good vision and avoid the pain and pressure from the secondary glaucoma.
To help Ladybug, click on the "Chip In" widget and your donation will make it securely to a fund to help Ladybug get her treatment. As you can see by scrolling to the bottom of the page, we have kept documentation of both Ladybug and her brother Buddy.
