Rat Terrier Puppies 4 Weeks Old. Visiting the Dog Breeder.

I am OBI in the video you are watching! Come here to see more of me!

[@jolujo5842]

No thanks

[@earth2wendy]

On my way, Obi! See you there! ❤😊

[@norah6147]

Yesssssssssss!

[@averagejoerider6352]

I like all breeds but man the Rat Terrier is special, I adopted a 6 month old female who's now aged 8 yrs. and her way of being able to read the situation, her alertness towards strangers, her way of ignoring yapping dogs as we are on our daily walks & her gentle way of showing her love towards me, just blows me away. I dread the day she goes away, just the thought makes my eyes wash up.

[@AndyEmerson8]

I couldn’t agree more!! Obi is so much fun. Make sure to go to his channel and subscribe. I made a bunch of Obi videos that you will like. His channel is the pinned comment in this section!

[@benda777nba]

I too love my rat terrier chi mix...very silar qualities that you mentioned..for some reason he does have a high pitched bark when he sees larger dogs...any thought as to why?

[@averagejoerider6352]

@@benda777nba hahaha well little dogs are known to be barkers till the bigger dog comes their way which then turns them into big cowards. I'm just fortunate my little RT happens to be quiet & ignore other dogs.

[@hightttech]

​@@averagejoerider6352: My boy mixed with big dogs no problem. It's not the size, but the dogs confidence level. My boy was relaxed around livestock and horses too. He passed just before his sweet 16. Best dog ever.

Had my rat terrier Reno for 17 years. Lost him a year ago. Loved that dog! Got him out of the pound when he was less than a year old. Pure bred. I got so lucky with him. I will get another when I’m ready again! Thanks for the videos.

This is the only breed I've ever owned. I just love them.

I got a rat/chi mix that’s 19 yrs old, she’s a tom boy at heart but likes to hang out with human females than males; but that changed; we eat breakfast together and go for short walks, and it looks like we’re going to enjoy another thanksgiving together this year. Coolest dog ever

[@anthonylaszlo7487]

I’ve had my Rat Terrier Smokey since I was 12, and I love him to death. They’re very loyal to who loves them.

I love, love love ratties. My favorite dog. They are so intelligent. My first one lived to be eighteen. My second one "Cutie" lived to be almost nineteen years old. Got her as a eight week old pup.

My family and I adopted a Rat terrier mix around this time, and I just LOVE their personalities. He is just spoiled brat, I could go on and on about him

Mama is freaked out you're touching her babies. I've had two ratties, one boy and one girl. Total opposites for the most part. Both hates cats, squirrels and birds. Loyal, protective and a great dog.

I got my rat terrier from Operation kindness in Texas in 2006. She died last November 10, 2020 she was old and sick. I miss her SO much.

[@awedelen2]

Aw. They're so adorable.

[@sassypowers]

Cynthia? Is this you ? I came across this video and said ok, That’s my dogs breeder! My cutest little rat terrier girl is named Call me cocoa in her akc registration but cocoa for everyday. She is an amazing little pup ! In 5 days she Igor’s in her crate in her own, scratches at door to go out, can sit, down, and drop it! 5 days outside bathroom no potty inside the house ! This is my fourth rat terrier and they are smart as a whip and food motivated so there’s nothing you can’t train them to do! Her coloring is beautiful

[@symptomoftheuniverse3862]

I adopted a black dog, white spot on chest and tips of his toes. His tail is long not curled, seeing the adult male he looks so much like my Charlie! He lived to 16. I have videos on my channel, do you think he has Rat Terrier in him?

[@miminguyen4629]

My parents bought 8 weeks old Chihuahua/ rat terrier mix for me as my birthday after my old Chihuahua died at 19 yo. We named the puppy Jax after Jack in the jack restaurant where a couple sold. Jax will be 5 yo next week. Jax alerts us to the noises every night. He loves the massages from the strangers.

[@wdan92]

I have a genuine question. Why cut off their tails? This is no way shape or form of me judging you guys. I know its necessary for some dogs but why a rat terrier? I have one and her tail does not have any damage nor does it cause any damage.

[@redsquirrel1565]

If they are working dogs it keeps their tail from getting damaged while driving animals out of a burrow. In non working dogs it’s for aesthetics.. it’s the classic look

[@danp2306]

@@redsquirrel1565 I thought Europe /EU banned it, though? Pretty sure, it was banned because Dobermanns are no longer cropped there.

[@forrestgumpv9049]

We lost our Rat Terrier Tink 4 weeks ago to cancer at 10yrs old. We got her as a pup from a puppy mill. She was a born hunter with a big appetite, never good around kids or dogs, our other Rats were not like that. If you ever have to get your pet euthanized , I STRONGLY recommend NOT doing it yourself, get a friend to do it, because you will suffer greatly with the constant visual reminder of it dying. I have to fight the memory, it can be overwhelming if allowed to, I see how dangerous PTSD can be now. We are waiting on a rescue Rat Terrier Mix Medium size tall female from our local Shelter. She will be our 5th Rat Terrier and last dog since we are old now. We Love dogs of all types, but the Rat is our favorite.

[@jenlien]

My male rat terrier is absolutely insane but he's finally starting to calm down now..at 12 months old. Almost housebroken. You need patience with this breed. They can drive you bonkos.

[@tommoore3177]

My Rat Terrier was the perfect dog at 6 months. I started training her the minute I got her home. By the time I had her for 3 weeks, I could put her in the front yard with no fence and she would stay in her territory.

[@RudeDogRanch]

Best breed, hands down!

[@getforked1474]

I just got a Boston Terrier puppy he is 10.7 weeks old and I picked him up at 8 weeks, we picked him out when he was 6 weeks old. We got one of the bigger if not the biggest male. The reason we picked him is because he was the calmest while holding the puppies, he didn't shake and wasn't nervous. I don't think this means you will have a calm dog, I think it means you will have an alpha confident, possibly dominant dog. I have had dogs were we got the more nervous puppy and they never had as much of a claiming space, dominant thing as the calm larger pups do

[@The_Woof_Pack]

Don't feed your dogs rawhide. It contains glue... it's hard to digest. The other so many better options!

[@AndyEmerson8]

We have been giving him bully sticks. He loves them.

[@WaningGibbous]

Yup bullysticks are great

Hello! I had a Rat Terrier for 15 years, but he lived to 16! Passed away recently and I'm not ready for a new dog, but when I'm ready to love again I would like to adopt another Rat Terrier. I live in Southern California, 1 hour East of LA and I was wondering if there was a way I could find a rat terrier out here when I'm ready to adopt.

[@AndyEmerson8]

Hi! I think you can go on the AKC website and get directed to a breeder closer towards you. Also it is fairly common to have a puppy shipped to you. Sorry to hear about your loss but it sounds like he filled his life to the max being your companion!

[@williamcullin]

There are tons of shelters over flowing with sweet dogs. I'm sure you can find a rat terrier in one. I found mine on the street.

[@maddison891]

Hey, I adopted my rat terrier/fox terrier mix from a Houston shelter for $5 because her previous owners bought her from a breeder left her outside once she wasn’t a puppy anymore and didn’t take care of her. Long story short she got heartworms (Bc her old owners did not give her heartworm preventative every month)so bad that they were just going to put her to sleep. Thankfully I got her had her treated which nearly killed her but she is now been with me 4 years and is the best dog! We love her so much I encourage you to adopt even if it’s a mixed breed don’t shop and Don’t support breeders. Hope you find a new friend at a shelter and I am so sorry for the loss of your pup.

[@williamcullin]

@@maddison891 you're amazing for saving that poor baby! My girl was with elderly people they couldn't keep up with her. They let her out to use the pot then she ran away it was a rainy stormy day. She had just left the vet that day they said. She's been mine since mid 2017 and literally dont want to go anywhere else lol...

[@williamcullin]

@@maddison891 look into raw food and natural herbal deworming and immunity boosting. I feed my 3 raw meats/bones and raw goats milk, plain yogurt, natural cheeses, herbs, fruits and vegetables...

[@mauroperez1961]

Why did you cut they tails? WHY?

[@AndyEmerson8]

Hi Mauro, it wasn’t my choice to dock the tails but apparently they do it for for safety reasons as the tail can get them hurt when they are hunting? I don’t really know but I can tell you he is a sweet loving and playful soul! You should check out his channel “obi the rat terrier”

[@DH-iw5bp]

Lots of ratites are born with naturally bobbed tails through selective breeding. In other cases, as mentioned, it is a humane procedure for hunting dogs, who tend to break tails tunneling or flushing underbrush. A broken tail is a far more cruel and painful condition.

[@maddison891]

It’s sad that you didn’t adopt a rat terrier from a shelter that needed a loving home.

[@russellharp8761]

Origin of cropped tails was identification for taxation purposes. A money making dog had a cropped tail, a pet didn't. The practice survived even though the requirement did not.

[@gabului4673]

@@maddison891 No need to shame others for buying, after all, it's their choice. I agree that adopting should be the option they look over first, but because they decided to buy doesn't mean you should shame them for it, you wouldn't want people making you feel like a terrible person.
