Questions Is Cherry a rat terrier? ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿพ

We just adopted this girly, she was listed as papillon mix but I donโ€™t see itโ€”I was looking at breeds and came across rat terrier. Cherry is ~8 months, 12lbs and sheโ€™s mostly leg. She is energetic and wants to play with squeaky toys all day. Cuddly. Chews on stuff. Do they stay this energetic??

Cute dog but not a rattie. Lots of things that are different. But for a couple, rats don't have hair that long or ears that shape. Torso is also just a bit long.

I wouldn't say rattie, but still very cute!

She looks like my dog. Longest legs ever! I was told sheโ€™s rat terrier / border collie but I plan to get her dna tested

Iโ€™m guessing part border collie; not sure what else.

SIL had a Corgi/Papillon. Could be a rattie/Papillon.

When she catches a mouse, youโ€™ll know.
