I've usually had a Lab up till our last two dogs. We have two Rat Terrors or Feist as they are called in these parts. One is full size and generally goes with me when I'm out running errands. The other is a Toy Ratty and she has Chihuahua in her. She is what we call Mommas Pit Bull LOL.

The Toy has also taken on the role of my unofficial service dog when I'm asleep or have my hearing aids out. I'm over 50% hearing loss so she jumps on my chest barking and shaking the covers if someone is outside, the phone rings, or anything she thinks I need to know LOL. She's my wife companion dog though and can easilly jump from the floor into her lap in the wheelchair.

They're great for home security. No noise gets by them.

I would *so* love to have a Rat Terrier.

When I was born, my parents had a toy Manchester and they say I was too young to remember her but I -do-.

Her name was Susie and I remember seeing her get hit by a car on the back road in front of my house.
[I think very small kids know more than we think they do]

I’ve wanted something like her since I was a kid and I fell in love with RTs at the local dog show when I was a teen.
