WarrenMtn's Killer Queen Bee "Ginger" Treeing a Squirrel
The primary reason anyone becomes involved with dog breeding and showing is a fundamental love of dogs. We treasure the companionship, the never failing loyalty, the delight they exude. We love to have them on our beds. Their eagerness to face the new day, even when we wake them up at dreadful hours, provides us a wonderment that brings back the exuberance of childhood. - 7 Foundations of A Successful Dog Breeder
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 all-around farm dogs, hunting vermin and herding, as well as alerting owners to potential intruders. 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.
We have been feeding Life's Abundance holistic dog food since 2018! Made in the USA (NY and OH) in Small batches & No Recalls! Here are some helpful links to make shopping for your pet food easier!
Since our adult dogs enjoy and have been thriving with the L.A. products;
our 2019 (and beyond) Rat Terrier Puppies will be started on Life's Abundance Small & Medium breed Puppy Food Any Doberman puppies we have in the future will be fed Life's Abundance Large Breed Puppy Food. For the sake of consistency and for your puppy's optimal growth and development, we highly recommend that you continue feeding this formula until they are at least one year of age. At that time you can transition them to another brand of choice, or transition them to the same formula we are feeding our adults.
If you would like to start your puppy off with a whole-health and wellness system that includes supplements, treats and puppy-safe grooming products that won't dry out their skin, you may wish to try the Puppy Health Starter Pack
After many years of planning and dreaming, we have welcomed our first Doberman into our family. This is a great breed that fits in wonderfully with our Rat Terriers.
I put this page together to compare different heads as babies and as adults. I finally compiled these images in ONE place to refer to when we have newborns to watch! :-)
In keeping with our breeding goals, I wanted to include some pictures of our dogs at work...on farms, around the house & out in the woods.
Rat Terriers (if bred true to instinct) have a tendency to chase & kill vermin and small game. Mice, Rats, Moles, Squirrels, Woodchucks, Rabbits and sometimes Coons are hunted with this breed.
I need to get more photos of our dogs hunting in the woods & hopefully some more squirrel hunting pictures/tailgates as we get more involved in the sport.
Squirrel Dog Central Forums Hunting tips, tricks, networking etc... various squirrel & tree dog breeds of all sizes and shapes.

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."
