very cute , but this is damaging to rats psychological well being , even tho it looks friendly in reality the rat is in stressful situation , and if it continues the animal may die from stress related disorder.
I have a pet mouse and my rat terrier gets sooooo jelous! We play with my mouse every now and then, and my dog Joey just looks at us then he lunges for the mouse( cookie) it's mean because he was bred to kill rodents but we don't want to get rid of her!
My Rat Terrier Dobby would probably never kill anything either. I just don't see it in him though I know they are bred too. Man if he had a friend like Binky, I think they would get along great. Dobby is so extra gentle w/ my ex's son esp when he was only a year old. He never jumped on him (or he would knock him over) he learned, probably like Andru did. But he likes to shake his stuffed animals (well hides) back and forth on the ground mimicking how they kill rats in the wild).

love the stripe going down his/her face.... my dog would kill the rat..... i live out in the woods, so often I see jack (also a rat terrier) kill and mangle wood rats.... he brings them to me as if i want it as a present.
cute, my rat terrier wouldnt kill anything just play with it but i would never get a real rat for my dog to play with. Very cute though very cute all rat terriers are very intellegent and happy dogs, thank god for rat terriers!
I guarantee you that this isn't a scene that would play with our Rat Terrier... Mick would literally bite the rat in half !! and if he didn't our Miniature Pinscher would.. we have A LOT of chipmunks here and the boys LOVE to catch them.. and yeah... kill them. It's like, what they're designed for.. How on earth you taught your dog to not kill the rat is amazing, even if it was with the rat as a little puppy. instinct is instinct !!
your rattie is a very nice rattie. My boy Bo would have had the rats head off in 2 seconds flat! They are a wonderful breed though, aren't they? A lot of people have never even heard of them. I found mine under a trailer, abandoned, 4 years ago. He was just a pup at 2 months old. Best dog I've ever owned.
Yeah, it's pretty clear that the rat is really enjoying playing with the dog, too. She could have gotten away several times! Or just dove right into the couch cushions! That was so incredibly cute -- I *love* rats, and I love rat terriers.
OMG my Rattie would make mince meat out of that little guy. How coooool is that vid?? My darn dog can't even get along with my 2 cats much less he hunts (ahem kills) the little baby squirrels in our yard. I guess my little guy needs lessons from yours! Awesome vid!
I hope cookie finds you. I'm sorry that you lost her in the storm. she is a hero and it could be that she saved something that you would have missed with out her jumping ship. The not knowing must be very hard. I'm wishing you the best in finding her.
Rat terriers are great predators!! They hold the world record for most rat kills in a single day by domestic animal. Cats don't even come close! I love rat terriers, they're awesome.
That is crazy! I can't believe it! Boomer, my ratty, has killed numerous rats, lizards, and squirrels. He is a true hunter. I don't know how your ratter just plays with the rat.
I know it is crazy. Like I told zipbutt below, my other Rat terrier and my Chihuahua are great hunters, but not my Andy. Andy is just too sweet and nice to everybody, he loves people and all animals big and small. He was neutered at only 7 weeks old (not my choice, he came from a rescue) and maybe that quiet down all those hunting instincts? Not sure, maybe he's just too good of a boy. I love him to pieces.
That is SO cute. I am about to rescue/adopt a rat terrier and the only other one I've known was incredibly sweet, but she'd kill a rat in a few seconds even though she's a total 'fraidy dog in general. Thanks for sharing!
My two mini rat terriers kill 'em! This video is truly amazing to me. Even if a young pup, ratties will usually kill a rat instinctively. One of mine killed her first at 7 mos. of age.
I know, my Andy is one gentle sweet boy. My other Rat terrier and my Chihuahua would kill anything, but not Andy. He even plays nice with little lizards and froggies. Not too excited about the froggies 'cuz I know some may be poisonous so I don't let him play with them.
wow, can't believe how well they play together maybe i should get my girl Macy a little rat to play with and so won't have to explain why my dog is a 'rat' terrier LOL. so cute, love the vid.
thats one of those rare rat terriers, most have their ears flopped over, but rare ones(1 in 10,000) was told from a professional breeder have ears that stick up.
really? i know this is an old comment, but could you tell me more, i found one at a gas station bout 6 mo's ago, and her ears are strongly erect and her tail is bobbed, are some of them born with bob tails? shes the best little dog ive ever had! i cant believe someone just obanded her like that.
not really, my brother talked to a professional breeder that wanted our dog for breeding purposes, and he said rat terriers aren't normally like the ones with their ears spiking up. He rejected the breeder, first because she was too old at the time to have another litter and second she just had recently had a litter and my brother had to help her or she would've died right there. But he said those kind of rat terriers are about 10,000 dollars.
Yeah, it might be a little bit of a stretch though. You might wanna ask a vet or a professional breeder. They would know more since rat terriers it seems to me are a younger breed.
THIS, would not happen with our Rat... he has learned to kill chipmunks and other critters due to his "master" Joey the Miniature Pinscher who LOVES to hunt and capture chipmunks... I love rat terriers... possibly my favorite breed ever.
I have a Rat Terrier and also a Teddybear Hamster my Rat terrier snaps at my Hamster when she gets a chance to get close to her... usually when my Hamster is in her "Ball" and runs through the house my dog will push the Ball if it stops lol
i only have a video camera in my phone and it kinda sucks.. i made one video where she's "grooming my sons hair" it's here on youtube called Terry and Lady taken with my Phone you can see what i mean about it sucking
I know, he's just a softie! I don't think he realizes he's supposed to hunt rats haha! Andy is just special like that. I would never let my other rat terrier, Kenyi, near a rat... he would destroy it in a couple of secs.
I just love how Binky the rat acts like she's bothered by Andy the puppy, but when she's able to run away instead she keeps bumping into him for more play!!! hehe!

Yes, some Rat Terriers are born with naturally bobbed tails, though most have their tails docked.
Erect ears seem to be preferred in the breed, but button and tipped ears are accepted too, as long as both ears are uniform.
