Breed Information

Overview

A Rat Terrier Mix is a cross between a Rat Terrier and another dog breed. Because a mixed-breed dog can inherit any combination of traits from their parents, it’s important to ask the breeder about the other parent breed in the mix.

Should a Rat Terrier Mix take after their Rat Terrier parent, they will be a small dog with a big, energetic, and playful personality. They love their families and are devoted to them.

Temperament

Rat Terriers are intelligent, exuberant, and affectionate dogs that tend to get along well with children and other dogs. They have a high prey drive, so will need some extra socialization and training with other pets in the household. As long as they are well-socialized, they tend to open up to strangers quickly once they are introduced. They also make alert watchdogs and can be prone to barking a lot. If you start to train your dog to stop barking early on, you can keep this from becoming a nuisance behavior. If the other parent breed in the mix has a similar temperament, then you can expect the same from a Rat Terrier Mix. The other parent will introduce their own quirks, so you do want to make sure you ask the breeder about them. You can also meet the mother in-person to see what temperament she has and to see the behavior she is modeling for her puppies.
