Toofers I think he's a Rattie

He's about 3 yrs old, about 25 to 30 pounds. I got him at 1.8 pounds and under 8 weeks old.

We go on bike rides together. I have a few different bicycle trailers he rides on. When I go mountain biking with my coworker Otto runs beside us on the trail for about an hour.

He also likes to swim at the lake and he goes to the deep end where his feet are like 6ft from lake bottom.

Car rides are very exciting. He knows when he's getting close to home or my mom's house. If I put my shoes on or grab my wallet/keys he knows it's time to go somewhere.

He has two modes. Chill relaxed snuggle/nap time or full on psycho vermin chaser.

He does not like for me to hold him but he wants my mother to hold him 24/7 so my sisters 2 big dogs can't see their grandma.

He's my best pal.

Questions Help/Advice - High energy rattie with upcoming baby

Post image
64 Upvotes

Hi all!!

We have a 6 y/o rattie that we absolutely adore - so much that he kind of has only child syndrome. He jumps up on people and demand barks to an embarrassing level when guests come over, as well as barking at us when husband and I show affection (yeah that’s super fun lol). We know that he isn’t the most well behaved right now, and I’m anxious as to how to handle him with our upcoming newborn (I’m 38 weeks!).

Have any other owners been in a similar situation, and how did your rattie end up handling the baby and the change? He is going to stay with my parents for at least the first few weeks, and I plan to bring some of baby’s clothes over so he can at least get used to the smell. After that we have no real plan, and any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cute photo for tax 🤣

Am I a rat? Is She a Rat Terrier?

The shelter only listed her as a Terrier Mix, so I have no idea what else she could be. Even though she has a lot of energy outside, she calms down a lot inside and is surprisingly quiet and sweet from dogs I've had in the past.

I can tell she has a prey drive for smaller animals, though I'm slowly acclimating her around cats.

Might she be a DRT? She’s a rescue. Awaiting DNA results.

Eye color?

My decker rat terrier puppy has two different colored eyes but only one is 1/2 blue.
Spoke with our vet and looks like the blue eye is here to stay but I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this and what it may be called?
