Rat terrier

An overly active and stubborn Rat Terrier is difficult to learn canine science. He quickly loses interest in learning, so classes should be varied and consistent. Early socialization is recommended but not required. The Rat Terrier is stubborn and self-willed, he is distrustful of strangers, but only for the first minutes, then he gets used to them. Despite its small size, the Rat Terrier is brave and fearless. This breed is unlikely to be suitable for an ordinary family, since the Rat Terrier needs constant attention from the owner and suffers from a tendency to vagrancy, which usually causes great concern for the owners. Weight: 5 - 16 kg. Height at the withers: 36 - 58 cm. Life expectancy: 14 - 18 years.
