My Maggie is a 8 year old Rat Terrier who guards me as only a little terrier can. Little in size but big in heart. She has been with me since she was 5 weeks old.
Lucky, is my neighbors dog but he guards me and my house too. Just a pup he showed up about a year ago and never left. He's part boxer so he can back up his bark while Maggie just barks.
Hugs, Sara
Walk in Peace.
Live with Joy. |

Tina, we do love our Rat Terriers - Don't we. Maggie isn't a mouser but she makes up for it by keeping my lap warm.
Scully, my Rat Terrier, that passed away from cancer a year before I got Maggie, was a mouser & hunter. She went blind at 10 years but was still hunting snakes.
Two weeks before Scully died my neighbor killed a snake in her sewing room and she called me to bring Scully up to check it out to make sure there were no more snakes. I reminded her that she was blind but she said that didn't matter. She wanted Scully. I took her and when I sat her down in the room she went straight to the corner where the snake had been killed and then searched the entire room.
Scully's record of kills:
1 cotton mouth water moccasin
2 copper heads
over 100 field mice & barn rats - when there was nothing to hunt on my 1/2 acres she hunted my neighbor's 18 acres & barn.
Hugs, Sara
Walk in Peace.
Live with Joy. |

I have a rat terrior as well, his name is "Pickles", he is a great mouser, and also guards who ever is eating, he figures that since he protected you and your food, he will get rewarded with a bite or two,lol...rescued dogs are some of the best dogs in the world, you hear stories all the time of rescued dogs saving their humans lives...
