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. Eventually, these tough little terriers evolved into today’s Rat Terrier.
