As the owner of a 3 year old rat terrier, I would add that rat terriers are VERY particular about being around children. Mine wanted nothing to do with the neighborhood children, but loves to follow my grandson around and is smart enough to stay just out of reach, but will bring him toys and play tug of war with him. They're also a very smart, sensitive little dog and do better in quieter environments. Can't speak for other folks' ratties, but mine hates car rides. By far the EASIEST dog I've trained in my lifetime. Took mine to obedience school, which seemed a bit distracting with the other dogs around, but I found it easier to teach her at home. My rattie is more play motivated than treat motivated.
i've watched this video, like, 4 times over the past 15 minutes. it's love at first sight! now i want a Rat Terrier, but i think it's not available here in the philippines. :(
We have two. One of ours is also a RataPap like MissAllyKat3's dog. Our other looks just like the dog featured in this segment. We will also have Ratties.
