Welcome to Thomason Rat Terriers
Owner Larry Thomason dukencaabb@yahoo.com

The Rat Terrier is commonly seen on farms and in homes as an alert watchdog and lively companion. This breed was originally developed from crosses between Smooth Fox Terriers and Manchester Terriers. The breed received its name from Teddy Roosevelt, who admired them for their outstanding abilities in rat-baiting pits. The Rat Terrier comes in a variety of sizes, and the larger ones were used to hunt various game. They are rugged and determined in the field. Whether of the smooth-coated or hairless variety, the Rat Terrier requires little grooming. As a household pet, it is charming to those who enjoy its vigor and zest for life, and it fits well into any size living accommodations.

My dogs are not housed in rabbit cages. They have a large, fenced in area with lots of room to roam. I spend time with them daily and they are well socialized. I feed 4Health Chicken and Rice and 4Health Small Bites. Both of these foods are free of corn, wheat and soy. The puppies are fed 4Health Puppy formula it's also free of corn, wheat and soy.

My dogs are from 8-16 pounds and they are all Type A. We Triple Register our stock with UKC, UKCI and CKC. All puppies go to the vet 2 to 3 days from birth for a well check and have their tails docked and dewclaws removed. They go back to the vet for a second checkup at 6 weeks. All puppies come with a health guarantee.
