Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Miles is a 2-year-old, 12 lb. chihuahua/rat terrier mix with a shy heart and a gentle soul. He is very cautious when meeting new people and needs time to build trust, but once you’re “in,” he’ll shower you with so much sweetness, affection, and love! Miles will do best with an experienced adopter who can help him come out of his shell and learn to be more confident around new people. He will thrive in a calm, stable home and with continued socialization. He will need a confident dog buddy to show him the ropes. The good news? He loves other dogs and fits right in with canine friends. Miles has not been tested with children, but we believe he’d be best suited for a home with no children, or with older, dog-savvy kids who understand and respect his boundaries. This little guy is food-motivated and eager to learn - he already knows how to sit for treats and will happily show off his adorable “dance” on his back legs. He’s mostly house-trained (occasional accidents may happen during stressful transitions) and is making good progress on getting used to leashed walks. With patience, consistency, and love, Miles will blossom into a loyal, devoted companion who wants nothing more than to be close to his people. If you’re ready to invest a little time in this sensitive sweetheart, he’s ready to give you his whole heart in return.

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.
