Hi,

58-65 Days Though if it has been longer then 70 days she will need to see her vet.

no there isn't there hair is short and doesn't really get that long unless its just a terrier, rat terriers have really short hair. So the answer is no.

Do you mean Jack Russel terriers? If so, they come in a variety of sizes and shapes outside the show-ring, but (in the UK), only what are now known as Parson Jack Russel terriers are allowed in the ring.

I have a Rat Terrier myself. They are known for nipping because of their dominant behavior.

You never mentioned what kind of worms your dog was treated. For hook and round worms an over the counter treatment may be enough. If you go to the vet they will give your dog Strongid-T, which will take care of the hook and round worms. If you are seeing white worms coming out of your dogs rectum or you see white worms in the fecal matter, your dogs has Tape worms. There is no over the counter treatment that will get rid of Tape worms. You must go to the vet who will give you a little pill to give to your dog. If your dog has tape worms you may also find tiny and I mean tiny little off white, sesame seed looking things in your dogs bedding. These are Tape worms that have crawled out of your dogs rectum and dried up and died. Sometimes this is the only evidence that a dog owner will see and wonder what the heck they are. Now you know.

the answer to your question is YES. I have had that mix breed and she was the best dog I every had!!!!! I have been looking, researching in the internet and skimming the local newspapers just to find another. So pretty much YES is the answer to that question. If you are trying to find that breed and you become successful in finding anything out please pleas email me with the info Thank You, threepeasinalilpod@yahoo.com

A Shih Tzu & Bulldog mix are called a Bull-Shiht. That's as much as I know. :)

I don't see how it concerns the chihuahua

In fact I do. At my house. lol. My pekingese gave birth 3 days ago to 8 peking terriers. (pekingese rat terrier mixes) 4 have rat terrier coloring,4 have pekingese coloring,all have the adorable face. lol

You bet they are! If a rat terrier sees anyone they are not familiar with, they will go absolutely NUTS barking at them.

Although I think Jack Russell's are a nice dog I wouldn't want to own one because they bounce off the walls (although the odd ones I've seen can be more sedate) but Jack Russell breeds are noted for being hyper active and they never seem to tire out. Yorkies are more sedate and little lap dogs. They prefer peace and quiet and play time. The Jack Russell is commanding things around the house and it's time for some serious training with this dog. When you say to 'stop' or 'lay down' then they should adhere to your commands no matter what the breed. Dogs need to know YOU are the leader of the pack and not them! If you had the Yorkie first then they SHOULD COME FIRST! This is the nature order of things 'pecking order.' All treats and meals should be given to the first dog in your home and then your Jack Russell should come next. I have a 4 year old Bichon Fise and a 2 year old Cockapoo and I always use this method. I don't allow my Cockapoo to try to push or order my Bichon around. I also give equal love and never just to one. I'd say you have your hands full. LOL NEVER allow your Jack Russell to torment your Yorkie! Put your foot down immediately! If it's a trial in your family please seek one on one training with your Jack Russell. There are many trainers out there that just train Jack Russell's. Another good thing for a Jack Russell (and good for the whole family) is belonging to a Jack Russell Club where you are meeting other owners and the dogs have a blast racing around through trial runs and having a complete field day and hopefully tiring out! When you do this take your Yorkie with you and hold her/him in your arms. If she/he doesn't like going then leave her/him at home with a family member.

A rat terrier's normal temperature is 101 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 to 39.2 degrees Celsius). To take your dog's temperature, you'll need a rectal thermometer. Put some petroleum jelly on the bulb of the thermometer. Ask someone to hold your dog's head while you lift his tail and insert the thermometer about an inch or so into the rectum. Do not let go of the thermometer. Hold it in until the temperature is read (about 3 minutes for a mercury thermometer), and then remove gently.

this might be hard but we put in tall picket fences and we hit and give our dog a time out and it works

1. The dynamic terrier temperament.Most terrier breeds are remarkably similar. The same words are used over and over -- quick to bark, quick to chase, lively, bossy, feisty, scrappy, clever, independent, stubborn, persistent, impulsive, intense. However, Rat Terriers are very individualistic in that some individuals fit that description to a tee, while other individuals are MUCH more easygoing and calm and make wonderful pets.
2. Providing regular exercise and mental stimulation.Rat Terriers must have regular opportunities to vent their energy and do interesting things. Otherwise you will end up with a frustrated, bored Rat Terrier, and that's when you'll see a lot of barking, digging, and destructive chewing.
3. Animal aggression.Though Rat Terriers tend to be more sociable with other dogs and cats than many other terriers, some individuals are still quite dominant toward other dogs of the same sex, and some are cat chasers.
4. Fence security.Rat Terriers are smart, athletic, and exploratory, which makes them ideal candidates for finding their way over or under your fences in search of adventure. You may need higher fences than you might imagine for their moderate size.
5. Barking.Rat Terriers are often too quick to sound the alarm at every new sight and sound. You have to be equally quick to stop them.
6. Mind of their own.Though much more amenable to training than other terriers, Rat Terriers must still be taught at an early age that they are not the rulers of the world. The toughness that makes them suited to killing vermin can frustrate you when you try to teach them anything. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say.
7. Finding a healthy one.Allergies and skin disorders are the most common health problems in Rat Terriers, but epilepsy and heart disease are becoming concerns, as well.

Yes rat terriers were breed to kill rats and still do.
