Le Rat terrier

J'ai envie de vous parler d'un race peu connue au Québec, le Rat terrier, j'avoue qu'il a un nom pas trop attrayant (malgres le fait que jaime les rats)

Il ressemble beaucoup au jack russell, ou au toy fox terrier.

voilà un peu d,info en francais :

Citation :

Le Terrier Rat est un chien tout en muscles, actif et intelligent. Il est facile au dressage, habile à chasser la vermine et un excellent chien de compagnie. Il y a 3 grosseur dans le standard de la race. (a ma connaissance, seul le miniature est élever au québec)

Citation :

Le Rat Terrier est un chien énergique et alerte dont la curiosité et l'intelligence le rend facile à éduquer. Le Rat Terrier a parfois été décrit comme ayant une double personnalité. Il est un chasseur courageux et tenace avec une énergie apparemment illimitée. Cependant, quand il ne chasse pas, le Rat Terrier est un compagnon particulièrement amical, s’entendant très bien avec les enfants, les autres chiens et les chats. Le Rat Terriers apprécie immensément la compagnie humaine avec qui il partage avec enthousiasme n'importe quelle activité. Le Rat Terrier ne doit pas être agressif pour être jugé en conformation.

maintenant en anglais.. désoler pour ceux qui ne comprenne pas l'anglais.. les infos sont dur a trouver en francais sur cette race. :

Rat Terriers love to dig, and they can get out of a fenced yard relatively easily. Provided they have the proper protection, they are able to spend a good amount of time outdoors.

The Rat Terrier needs a good amount exercise. It should have at least 20-30 minutes a day, but would enjoy much more. The breed enjoys challenging games and outdoor romps.

The Rat Terrier retains his true terrier heritage by being a superb ratter. He is gritty, feisty and tough yet never out of control, quick, alert, agile and fleet. They will make strong eye contact with you, cocking their head trying to understand, willing to do what ever you ask of them. But clowning around, soliciting play and sleeping by their master with one eye open, always ready, is one of their specialties.
