They are, for the most part, friendly with strangers. Rat Terriers make good watchdogs. These dogs are quick, very playful and are not yappers. The temperament of these dogs is pure terrier. The lively, feisty, fearless nature can be found in the best of terriers. They are eager to please and respond and pick training up faster than most dogs. The Rat Terrier is a very well-mannered, well-rounded dog.
There are also miniature Rat Terriers that stand under 13 inches and larger Rat Terriers that weigh more than 25 pounds. Most kennel clubs recognize both standard and miniature size divisions, but recognition of the giant Rat Terriers varies by individual club.
