Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). "Where you lead, I will follow. If you need, you need me to be with you, I will follow where you lead." Jazz may not know Carole King but, she lives those words! Her sole purpose in life is to be your shadow - cuddle with you on the couch, curl up close by while you're working, go for neighborhood walks (with you), or accompany you on all your errands (do not go without me!). She loves riding in the car. She loves leash walks. She enjoys checking out the backyard as long as you're in sight. This 13 lb. rattie-chi mix is completely house-trained, and will tell you if she needs to go out in between walks. At 9 years-old, she likes her daily routine but she adapts well to new situations. She is fine with her foster sibling but on occasion she will bark at unknown larger dogs. She is untested around cats. Jazz has some hearing loss and may bark to get your attention -- but she is attentive to hand signals if you want her to quiet down. She can hear sharp sounds, like a whistle, but she's completely un-phased by the vacuum cleaner. Because Jazz is so attached to her person, she must be adopted by someone who is home most of the time. She would do well as an only dog; she'd also be fine in a home with another small dog. If you've been looking for a close companion, Jazz is your girl! "Ain't it good to know you've got a friend?"

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.
