Long Haired Rat Terriers (Updated March 30, 2025)*Click on the title, above, or the thumbnail photo, left, to open this album to view the photos.*
Yes, some rat terriers do have soft, silky coats. The longer coat becomes evident when the puppy is about 2 weeks old. These fuzzy puppies are absolutely adorable. We are now using the name, TEDDY BEAR RAT TERRIERS to describe these soft-coated rat terriers.
The long hair is caused by an autosomal recessive gene mutation in the FGF5 (fibroblast growth factor 5) gene.
GenSol Diagnostics in Clayton, Georgia does offer a genetic coat length DNA test kit (cheek swab) to find out if a dog carries the long coat gene or not.
CATEGORIES FOR COATS ~REGULAR SHORT COATED RAT TERRIER THAT DOES NOT CARRY THE LONG COAT GENE~ The short coat gene is dominant, labeled genetically as "LL." The "LL" dog can only pass on the "LL" (short coat gene) to its offspring. ~SHORT-COATED RAT TERRIER THAT CARRIES THE LONG HAIRED GENE~ A rat terrier with a short coat that carries the long hair gene is labeled genetically as "Ll." The "Ll" dog will pass on the "L" (short coat gene) or the "l" (long haired gene) to its offspring. ~LONG HAIRED RAT TERRIERS~ A rat terrier born with a long coat is labeled genetically as "ll." The "ll" dog can only pass on the "ll" (long haired gene) to its offspring.
Examples: 1. Lucinda is an Ll, Woody is an ll, pups statistically will be Ll and ll, or 25% short coat and 75% long coat. 2. Annie is an Ll, Bart is an Ll, pups statistically will be Ll and Ll, meaning 50% short coat and 50% long coat.
Where the long haired gene comes from is anybody's guess, because many breeds make up the foundation stock of the rat terrier heritage. Most long-time breeders will tell you that they've had a long haired rat terrier puppy show up here and there. However, you will never see long haired rat terriers in the AKC or UKC show ring because the long coat is a breed disqualification.
Here are some long haired rat terriers that we have produced: 01. BORN MAY 4, 2001 - RALPH - Spring High's Ralph - black tri male - (Sunflower X Boonton) RIP 02. BORN APRIL 27, 2004 - ALICE - Spring High's Joliet - black tri female - (Sunflower X Boonton) RIP

PEARL RAT TERRIERS (Updated Jan. 21, 2017)*Click on the title, above, or the thumbnail photo, left to open this album to view the photos.*
The pearl color in rat terriers is also called Isabella in other breeds. It is the dilute of chocolate. Controversy over the color name once had pearl dogs registered with UKC as blue fawns, which was totally incorrect, and very confusing to breeders. Pearl is now accepted as a registerable color and is unusual as it requires both parents to either be the color or carry the genetics to make the color, chocolate and blue/dilute together. Pearl rat terriers can be pearl and white, pearl/white/tan (tri-color) or pearl sable and white. Pearl sable is also referred to as tan/pearl sable or red fawn. We have owned and produced a few pearl adults and puppies and are featuring them in this album. 1. BORN APRIL 18, 2003 - MUNCHIE - Spring High's MRT Minnie Pearl - pearl and white female 2. BORN MAY 5, 2005 - FIESTA - Spring High's Fiesta Grande - pearl and white female 3. BORN MAY 5, 2005 - TEQUILLA - Spring High's Tequilla - pearl sable and white male 4. BORN MAY 11, 2006 - SARAFINA - Spring High's Sarafina - pearl tri female 5. BORN MAY 11, 2006 - OLIVER - Spring High's Oliver - light pearl tri male 6.
