Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Meet Sam Adams, a delightful 5-year-old rat terrier-chihuahua mix weighing in at a perfect 16 lbs. Sam Adams is the epitome of a well-behaved companion, with perfect house training, impeccable house manners, and a gentle, easy-going nature. He is eager to greet new friends, be they human, canine, or feline, and he is friendly and gentle with everyone. While he may be a trifle nervous about new environments and situations, he gets acclimated pretty quickly. A great watchdog, he will burst out barking when someone knocks or rings at the door or he sees someone right outside the window, and while he settles down quickly as soon as he gets a chance to meet the person, he still would not be well suited for an apartment or other home with shared walls. Very people-oriented and food motivated, Sam Adams is highly trainable and already knows verbal commands like Sit, Back, Wait, Crate, and "uh-un!" He is affectionate and snuggly, usually low key and calm, but he will happily engage in playful activities when the mood strikes, like chasing a tennis ball or running around with his favorite dentabone. If you're looking for a dog with a triple-A rating (affectionate, attentive, and adorable!) then Sammy could be just right for you!

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.
