📖 About the breed

Meet the Rat Terrier

Developed on American farms in the early 1900s from European terriers (Fox Terrier, Manchester Terrier, Whippet), the Rat Terrier was popularised by President Theodore Roosevelt — who reportedly named the breed after his own ratting dogs eliminated White House rodents.

Rat Terriers are America’s farm vermin-hunters with one of the longest lifespans in dogdom. Healthy individuals routinely live 15–18 years, and the breed remains a favourite of rural American families today.

Pick a name with American working-class heritage or one that captures their scrappy farm-dog spirit.
