Rat Terriers - Puppies - Buying a Puppy

Rat Terriers should be purchased from reputable breeders who want to continue to keep track of their puppies' lives. To help owners to better care for a Rat Terrier, breeders should have considerable experience and be knowledgeable on a great number of issues. Who knows what problems Rat Terrier owners may face! Therefore, the choice of the breeder can turn out to be vital for further development of the puppy and will surely have an impact on the whole life of the owner.

Preference should be given to a pedigree Rat Terrier whose background is clearly stated in official papers. The breeding stock from which such a puppy stems will come very close to the standard, the ideal picture of the Rat Terrier.

There is a particular danger when buying a Miniature Rat Terrier. Miniature Rat Terrier puppies are rather small at the age of 6-8 weeks. Nevertheless, a tiny size of a puppy should put a potential buyer on the guard. Keep in mind that diminutive size can be the result of a poor health condition of the puppy.

To make sure the Rat Terrier puppy is healthy and will not give you a lot of trouble in the future, ask for written proof of its health. By the age of 8 weeks old (the best time for purchasing a puppy), it should get the necessary shots. The puppy should also be well socialized. A Rat Terrier puppy that is pleasant to look at, well balanced and overall sound will make a wonderful companion and meet all your expectations.

The issue of choosing a puppy from a litter should be discussed with the breeder. The breeder knows perfectly well each puppy's habits and will help to determine which puppy is suited for you best. Yet, the final decision is up to you. Spend some time with puppies and watch them communicate with their littermates and the mother. In either case, a breeder who cares about the future of his dogs will not impose a puppy that is not to your taste.
