Sounds like some knowledgable dog folks here that may be able to answer a question. Around here, Rat Terriers are quite common and we have a pair ourselves. I have heard that this breed and the Jack Russell are pretty closely related. Is this true?
The Rats make great farm dogs and have the built in desire and ability to keep the place free of vermin. (I wish they would leave the skunks alone, though.) They are bit high strung sometimes, but I think that having two sort of lets them get each other wound up. Certainly no shortage of energy. Fortunately, it is not the kind of energy we need to worry about when people come to our house. Their bark is far worse than their bite. If you are a person, that is. If you are a member of the rodent family, you had better keep your distance.
