• Rat Terrier Dog - Breed Information The Rat Terrier is an American breed descended from the terriers brought over by English miners and other working class immigrants. These dogs were used as ratters, and gambling on their prowess in killing rats was a favorite hobby of their owners. Some of these dogs were crossed with Whippets or Italian Greyhounds (for speed) and Beagles (for hunting ability). • Rat Terrier Pictures A collection of photos and pictures of Affenpinscher dogs.
