Rat Terrier - Dog Breeds
The Rat Terrier is the ideal farm dog that they were always intended to be. President Theodore Roosevelt is said to have given the breed its name after his own terrier had eradicated the rat infestation at the White House; clearly, the Rat Terrier excels as a public servant - provided that it’s in their very own best interest. They’re an American tradition just like apple pie, but watch your plate, or you might find you’re missing dessert.
