The mini rat terrier is smaller and weighs around 10-13 pounds and up to 13 inches tall. The regular rat terrier is bigger and weighs around 13 to 20 pounds and up to 20 inches tall. That's the difference between a mini rat terrier and a regular rat terrier. There is also a decker rat terrier that can weigh up to 50 lbs and are more aggressive.

As per RTCA (Rat Terrier Club of America ):

TOY, MINIATURE, STANDARD or GIANT?

There are officially no Toy or Giant varieties. The Standard by which our breed is judged by both the AKC and the UKC separates the varieties by height at the shoulder: "Over 13 inches", and "up to and including 13".... BTW: These same measurements are used in the Bull Terrier, Beagle and American Eskimo breeds for the separation of the varieties, and were also found to be the median height for our breed too. (10" to 19" are the acceptable and desired heights for our breed). THERE IS NO TOY VARIETY FOR RAT TERRIERS IN EITHER AKC OR UKC.

Rat Terriers are considered by weight to be a small to medium breed. Due to the many size variations found in the Rat Terrier, using height allows for the separation of the varieties, but includes most every size of our breed and therefore allows the opportunity for their development within a breeder's strain without individual's being disqualified. (Rat Terriers are officially part of the Terrier group, and not the Toy group. There are toys out there, but if you are looking for one of these smaller 3-7# toys, we suggest you check out the Toy Fox Terrier www.atftc.com. The TFT has been a recognized breed for over 60 years. Buyers Beware - so-called Toy (UKCI registered) RT's are not true purebreds and may have been hybridized by some breeders, having Chihuahua, Toy Fox Terrier and/or Manchester Terrier bloodlines added, of which, we do not condone the use of).

What is the difference between a pitbull and a pitbull terrier?

theres a little difference. , pit bull, pit bull terrier, staffordshire terrier, and sometimes bull terrier. the staffordshire terrier is English bred. There is no difference. "Pit Bull" is just a shortened name for the American Pit Bull Terrier. All "pit bulls" are terriers. Just depends on if you want to use the full name. Your question is similar to asking what the difference is between a Rottie and a Rottweiler No, stafordshire and bull terrier are different from a pitbull, they are all cousin, and come from the mastuffs, however, They are different breeds, stafforshires are from American, we copied England of The Stafforshre BULL terrier (Which that plus pit makes a bully) And Bull terriers are also from England, te English bull terrier, they are what you have seen on Next Friday (Chico) the movie, But they have the egg shaped head, they are cute but Ugly at the same time. search the breeds up in Google images. and actually people use the term pitbull to describe a few breeds of dogs all sharing similar caristeristics (sp ?) ie; American pitbull terrier, American stafordshire terrier, stafordshire bull terrier. sometimes even cane corsos. so a pitbull could be a number of dogs but a pitbull terrier is probably reffering to an American pitbull terrier. its sometimes hard to tell any of the breeds apart. look up on youtube : the real pitbull terrier and that will tell you the difference between the American bully and the American Pitb ull terrier

How can you visually tell the difference between a Staffordshire terrier and a pitbull terrier?

Firstly, the Pit Bull is not actually a breed, but the term is used to refer to breeds such as the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and sometimes the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Assuming by ''Pit Bull'' you mean the American Pit Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier, the difference is that the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a few inches shorter, weighs less and was first bred in England. ''Pit Bull'' type dogs are unfortunately illegal in many countries, such as the UK, with the exception of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier; which is still legal.

How do you find out what type of pit bull you have?

Look at it. Does it look like its head belongs on a much bigger dog? And its eyes face to the side? That would be a Bull Terrier. Does it look like the most common, but smaller? American Staffordshire bull terrier. Or is it the most common looking? About 70, or 80 lbs.? American Stafforshire pit bull terrier. The fourth, American Pit, is not real common anymore. I have not seen or heard of one of those in quite some time. Now, if you have the most common, it's markings, and nose will tell the tale. The American Staffordshire Pit bull terrier, will either be brindle, the brown stripes, and a black nose. That would be a Brindle. A red, or pink, nose is a red nose. If the dog is grey, or a real light brown, and the nose looks black, that would be a blue nose. A pit has to have white on their head somewhere. A white chest, and at least 1 white paw, to even be considered, as a purebred. The white comes from it heritage. The white terrier, which is now extinct, by the way. The other half of their blood comes from the English bulldog.........Chuck.
