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

very vistios the pitbull i s vitios

My Shih tzu / Rat terrier mix, Jackson, weighed between 12 & 13 lbs. In his prime. He had long legs like the Rat terrier. Broken coated hair grew much slower than Shih tzu. Best dog ever. I loved my little Jackson Boy!

Wheaten Terriers are so smart! They are loving, happy-go-lucky dogs. The only problem with Wheatens are that they love people too much! They are well known for their "Wheaten Greeting" The wheaten greeting is jumping up on visitors when they walk into the house. After all the excitement, they do settle down. Wheatens are incredibly smart and so obedient. They are such fun dogs.

Currently no. Rat Terriers are listed as a Foundation Stock Service breed.

Spray some non-toxic carpet cleaner on the carpet. It will give the dog a bad taste.

It is a mix breed of Pug and Rat Terrier I have one and she is the sweetes thing!They have also proven to have less health problems then a puggle.

Stop interbreeding !!! just adds more dogs to put down! no one adopts them ! It will not add more dogs to be put down as we are going to keep one and we have close friends that would like to take a puppy. So close your mouth and think before you type. I did not ask your opinion on us breeding our dogs so just answer the question we asked.

fully grown the male is 19-21 in. and the female is 18-20 in.

This depends on what is wrong with his ear. If there is a medical condition present, it is best to seek the advice of a veterinarian.

what does a jack russell mix with husky lab look like

Tail bobbing should only be done by a licensed vet, since it is major surgery. Both skin and bone needs to be cut, and the skin stitched to cover the wound.

Tail bobbing is loosing popularity in the United States, but is still required by many breed standards. Some rat terrier puppies are born with bobbed tails. Mine was!

yes!

All dogs are different. it depends on how friendly both of the dogs are. I have a very small but aggressive dog and I don't think he would get along with other dogs even though typically that type of dog is friendly

No pitbull shouldn't be mixed with another breed.

Yes they are, all dogs are in the same family.

Mine yelps but she doesn't howl.

My dog has just been stung on the eyelid whilst out walking. I came straight home and telephoned the vet. She advised me to give her a 1/4 tablet of human's Piriton (chlorphenamine) and put a cold compress on the eye. FYI my dog weighs about 5 kilo's. The vet advised if it continued to swell then she may need to be seen, however I can happily report that within 2 hours the swelling has gone completely and my dog is bouncing around.

ANSWER

You can give your canine friend CHILDRENS Benadryl for allergic reactions such as this. I disagree with running your dog to the vet due to a bee sting, but that is my opinion. Call your vet and ask them the Benadryl dosage for your dog.

This is a confusing question. If the dog's one eye is swollen from a bee sting, it's because of the venom that the bee injected. It is possible that if you didn't remove the stinger, assuming it actually was a bee and not a wasp, that it may have become infected. But, for a bee sting to spread to another eye would be unusual. As with any medical question, talk to a vet. Or, wait until the poor thing loses an eye from infection, that's another option. I don't mean to be rude, but while you were typing the question, your dog is sitting their suffering. Good luck. Again take your 4-legged baby to the vet. If you were stung by a bee in the eye and your other eye is starting to have a problem, would you not go to the doctor. Geeesssssh! Take care of these little guys, they're tough, but they can go down rather quickly.

Take it to the vet!!!

I can recommend you to breed a pitbull and another pitbull. You see? Pitbulls have a estable behaviour and mixing with another would not make a better breed.

No because the Rat Terrier is to little. It is without forces still.
