Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Rat Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Meet Odie – Our Distinguished Gentlepup Odie the Rat Terrier is the ultimate mellow soul, with just the right sprinkle of playful energy to keep life fun! This laid-back gentleman loves long naps, gentle strolls, and savoring quiet moments—but don’t let his age fool you. Give him a ball, and his eyes light up like a pup half his age!

Feeding time is his favorite part of the day, and he greets it with all the enthusiasm of a youngster. Whether he’s curled up for a nap or trotting after his favorite toy, Odie is all about comfort, companionship, and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. If you have a soft spot for senior dogs and peaceful, loving moments, Odie is ready to win your heart—and maybe even claim your couch.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Rat-Cha, a charming crossbreed between the Chihuahua and Rat Terrier, offers a spirited companion with a unique blend of its parent breeds' best traits. Originating from the desire to combine the Chihuahua's affectionate nature with the Rat Terrier's intelligence and robustness, this hybrid is gaining popularity. Physically, Rat-Chas are typically small to medium-sized, weighing between 6 and 15 pounds, with a short, easy-to-care-for coat that can vary widely in color. They often possess expressive eyes and a sturdy build, reflecting their terrier lineage. Temperamentally, they are known for being alert, playful, and loyal, often forming strong bonds with their families. While they can be vocal, early socialization and training can mitigate this. Their adaptable size makes them well-suited for both apartment living and homes with yards, and they can be wonderful additions to active families, though supervision is wise with very young children due to their smaller stature. Health-wise, like many small breeds, they can be prone to dental issues and patellar luxation, so regular vet check-ups are important.
