This is the first time i watched your show. I loved it! My husband and I had a Rat Terrier named Ripley that we got from the SPCA. We had to put him to sleep about 9 months ago and our hearts have been broken ever since. We had him for 16 years. Everything that was in your video described him. He always slept with us and was my constant companion when i was at home. He is so missed. We are starting to think about getting another pup and we have decided on another Rat Terrier. I want to get a different color though. A wonderful breed!😊❤

Anyone have any input with this breed and apartments? Also, being a hunting dog, how much hours of physical activity does this dog need?

I rescued a 10 year old Rattie . He was given up because the persons "new boyfriend" didn't want him. So she sent him to a shelter. He was there for 4 days. I saw his picture online and knew he was waiting for me. 8 Months later he is my best lil friend in the world. He loves me and loves life. It took about 2 weeks before he started really trusting me. He was obviously taken care of physically and medically but I do believe due to hand shyness that he was abused. Now he trusts me 100%. Trusts other people. And loves the Dog Park. He may be 10 but he acts like a puppy. No matter how many years i have left with this beautiful dog i am so glad we found eachother. This breed is so sweet, playful, loving and bold and very intelligent !

I have 2 pups that i was told are rat terrier Chihuahua mix the dad i adopted when he was a year old and im his 3rd owner, he doesn't like other people or animals of any kind, his daughter i got when she was 6weeks old and looks more Chihuahua long and skinny.. the dad is short and stocky so im thinking he is more jack Russell terrier. But they are both protective and lovable ❤️

I have had Irish wolfhounds for 15 year this interview is spot on! I was teaching my Irish Wolfhound how to play fetch, 9 times he went and got the ball and dropped it at my feet! The tenth time when i threw the ball he looked at me “nope if you want it you go get it, I got it nine times and you keep throwing it”! I’m done! I lost my heart hound at 7 1/2 from liver failure! my wolfhound I have know always wants to sit on my lap oh by the way he ways 170 lbs . They are also a magnet at gatherings a crowd in public! My wolfhounds have had 1000s of pitches taken of them!

I have a decker rat terrier named Rusty

I have a 3 y.o. Pumi ... great dog ... he rules the house ... very alert ... very vocal and very aggressive when herding other dogs who don't want to be herded ... no shedding, no odor ... I would not recommend the breed for just anybody ... probably not a good choice for a first dog owner ... or an apartment dweller ... he is very smart and thinking all the time.

I had a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon for 13 years when he passed. I miss him, but also miss the breed. And I agree, you need to have space to exercise the breed. I initially had him on the farm for the first part of his life and he grew up knowing the outdoors. As he aged and slowed down, he actually preferred to stay closer to me. If he was mad at me for some reason he'd keep his distance, but overall loved to be right beside me. Ultimately, he had kidney issues that couldn't be addressed. I have so many great memories with him.

We are getting a scottie, in August, they are amazing.

I'm getting a dna test, I'm sure ruby is a rat, she's 13 weeks old and I've never seen anything on the scales of off the charts iq, she was at the shelter and she manipulated my heart within 2 minutes I was hers, she was dumped as a pup and holy crap were at day 4 and she's love snuggle but the stuff she does! I wasn't looking for another dog I have a old lab and lots cats, and was at shelter for granddaughters school project 15 hrs at shelter, then it happened ruby owned me in 2 minutes flat so much I started balling because of the love she did, if your depressed, this here will solve it! Trust me! You have a purpose when you become adopted by a rat terrier 😊

My wife and I have adopted a female griffon 5 months ago. She is 9 years old and she is a sweety. The perfect dog

I'm going on my third Akita and it's a learning process with a Nikita especially if you're not a strong dog owner near loof and strong-willed and can be dangerous possessive if you don't break them out of their possessiveness best breed in the world

Anyone breeding bulldogs are pos

Thank you for this video on wolfhounds. I rescued a 2 year old that had been abused. She was terribly afraid of men. Since my husband passed I've been taking her to prayer group and other meetings where men are present. It took 4 months before she would allow one of them to pet her. Now, there are those she is buddy's with and goes to for petting. Our church gives food to the needy and we go as "guards" for our church secretary because of some situations that made us nervous. Most of the men of the church, even those she doesn't know, she is just cautious around. We have had some men come for food that she was much more than cautious and talkative in a negative way. She is about 5 years old now and weighs about 70 #'s. She loves to travel with me and go camping. Because of her small size I thought she was a mix. After listening to this program I'm wondering if she was an under feed pedigreed Wolfhound because she looks just like pictures I've seen of them and fits the fur, behavior and everything that was said about Wolfhounds. She is very demanding with her paws, especially when I'm driving and she is sitting beside me. If I don't pet her she clobbers me with a paw.

We have a Pumi who is 7 yrs and full of pizazz and energy! We’ve learned how to groom her ourselves and because she is a “rugged” breed and curly, we do our best and she pretty much looks the same. She is very very vocal and active, a very good sentry!

Getting a 8 week old puppy this Saturday. Excited

I have an 18 month old Landseer (white with black patches) Newfie. He weighs 175 lbs, he sheds and drools like no one's business and he loves to swim. He has a sweet disposition and loves small children.

To be honest you have pretty much covered it all there. I am writing from North Wales & we one of the very few Griffons in the U.K Much more common around the "Med" They are stunning dogs. BUT they are not for first time dog owners. They are subtle, crafty & will pick out any weakness within the owner. We would not be without ours & we have always had dogs over the last 40 Yrs. Stunning breed ...... but please do get one of these if you not grown up around dogs. Griffons are "Special"

I have one ❤ love my baby 🇧🇷

Just watched the VPR episodes when James & Graham are reunited & later takes a trip to Tahoe. Graham seems so happy to be back with James. Pets get “emotionally used” as a revenge factor in some breakups. I had a friend who was getting a divorce. Her estranged husband stole her three yorkies & held them hostage demanding she agree to his divorce requests before he would return them! She was emotionally distraught! Eventually the police got involved and the dogs were returned since she was named as the owner on the adoption agreement. So a happy ending, but people can be cruel each other when emotions are high.

I’d like to see the WOUND that Graham caused to be abandoned in a shelter when there was a man all along that would have taken him immediately. This girl and her family are HEARTLESS.

Ratties are great! Having had four purebred and two rattie mixes over the last 30+ years I have never owned a dog that wasn't at least half rat. Rattie/ Chihuahua and Rattie/ Corgi are both good mixes if the chance of adoption presents itself. I"ve gotten them all under varying circumstances too. First one was an 8wk. old accident mix. Two at 8 weeks being able to see the Mom and Dad, One was 9mo. that I was the third (and forever) dad for, a 3yr. old puppy mill mom and an 11yr. old girl that was two days from her appointment to be put down. They are a hearty breed. Skin problems and rashes seem to be the most prevalent issue I experienced throughout the years, mostly a food allergy and a grass allergy, both controlled inexpensively with Benadryl and just the proper non prescription dog food. With proper care they can easily live to be 16 -17 yrs. (which seems to pass very quickly!!!)

We have a 2 year old Rat Terrier:Chihuahua mix. Looks like a rat terrier with a slight chihuahua vibe but a mix of both rat terrier and chihuahua mannerisms. Dug is super active, loves his outdoor time but also lazy as can be too. Love this pup and his rattle traits.

The name ‘Border’ actually came from “The BORDER Hunt” (not because they come from the Border between England & Scotland) Originally the Border Terrier was referred to as the Coquetdale Terrier or Redesdale Terrier from the area in which it evolved, but by the late 1800's it was generally known as the Border Terrier, probably because of its long history with the Border Hunt in Northumberland. It shares its ancestry with that of the Bedlington Terrier and the Dandie Dinmont Terrier.

I have a Patterdale too, they're awesome ❤

Just wanted to drop a note of encouragement and say I respect the consistency and professionalism of this channel. You guys have been at it a long time! I came across the channel because of your wirehaired pointing griffon overview. Keep it up. Wishing you success with the channel, books, and life!

Fun stuff.

My favorite !

I have 2 they are the best!I just love! love! them!❤

Matilda is the best dog we have ever owned 13:09

No, I actually won, but he was stubborn about it.

If you have a ratty, please discourage them from jumping. I just had to put mine down at 20 years old due to hip dysplasia. He used to bounce for treats and attention. He was the bravest , funniest and most amazing dog. I’ll get another but it will be a while.

My Scotty and I argued for 30 minutes as whether he should roll over or not.

I love my WPG. Otis is the happiest of dogs and just loves to be near his people

I’m so much in love with my rescue rat terrier….talk about intelligent…I said a sentence one time, he looked, he thought, and then he reacted….my gosh, I think there’s a tiny human in there….and his beautiful brown eyes are loving and kind….yea! For this show about man’s and woman’s best friends…and especially rat terriers….

I have 3 Ratties. Two are my Diabetic Alert Med. service dogs. They are VERY intelligent and easy to train. I swear they understand conversational english! I always say they can have a volcab of about a two year old child. Sofia is my only female and she was retired from a breeder to us. She is our Alpha-female. 100% couch potatoes!

Love our WHP! We do leave him alone 1-2 days during the week while we go to work. Granted he has a doggy door and roams in-out the house. Always happy to see us when we arrive. He is a well exercised dog and great with people. Gets overly excited with kids, but then calms down. We don't hunt with him, but sport with him a lot!

I have a rat tearrer my I save got from other family who had her was going get rid of her so I save her and keep her she a cute little girl I ever see I had my rat tearrer about 4 half days this week I do have Jack Russell terrier too both are the best breed ever I love terrier breed my jrt I have for 11 years so far my rat tearrer is new to me and nice video made me learn more about my new rat terrier I have never heard of before keep up the video

Great video! In Europe all Belgian sheperds are considered one race. And sometimes a Laekenois can be born out of Malinois dogs, which is what happened with mine :) my dog's parents were Malinois and mine turned out to be a Laekenois in both hair and temperament, which is pretty awesome! they are very popular in Norway, Sweden and Finland and they are just lovely!

Great video, very informative.

The Laekenois guarded bleaching linen that was lying on the field in the sun. Linen was valuable so it needed to be guarded against thieves. Their drive and energy is very similar to Malinois as they have the same ancestors. I have had Malinois, Groenendael (in the US know as Belgian Sheepdog) and now I have a Laekenois and she is indeed the most aloof of them all. My Groenendael was everybody’s friend. Besides a Laekenois, I also have a Phalène (Continental Toy Spaniel) which is also a rare Belgian breed.

Correction here , it was the River Aire in yorkshire and not lake aire .

I love my Scottie! MUST be supervised around children - terriers are prone to snapping and have full size teeth!

Rat Terriers are the absolute best IMHO. Best dogs I have ever had. Just the right amount of everything.

I've had two, and they were both wonderful and magic. My great hesitation about adopting another now is their all too short lifespans. Such amazing companions. Also the world's largest lapdogs.

I have a 6yr female RatTierra. I got her on November 2023. 4wks after loosing my dog of 19yrs. She's is everything the owners of rat teirra describe them to be, they are loyal alert.friendly.and they love their belly rub. I love my fur baby

Great! Everything I wanted to hear about this dog in one video.

As a German shepherd owner I have been interested in this breed, maybe someday.
