Description
Dog Breed: Rat Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). My name is Charlie and I am such a sweet boy! My favorite activity is curling up next to someone I trust or warming my tushy next to a fireplace! Nobody really knows my age, but the vet says I'm healthy and look to be about 4 years-old. I was surrendered from an elderly person and a bit shy around kids, but I have friends who are cats. I'm tiny at only 8 lbs. but mighty on protection, it's the only time I alert the humans around here. I don't chew up anything and my foster parents have helped me master potty training with positive reinforcement, love, treats, and a clicker. I am such a good boy and I like to keep on a schedule. I like my crate but Mom never has to close the door anymore. I LOVE to sleep in bed with my people and I don't even mind my cat friends joining us. I haven't had much time around other dogs yet, but my foster mom says I am starting to accept other dogs around my size. My favorite hobby is chasing my humans outside and sniffing the yard for little critters. I also love strolling the neighborhood on a leash and getting compliments from friendly neighbors. Would you be my forever family?

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.
