Erik the Red Erik was born here at Calico Run in June 2002. Due to his unique coloring at birth and beyond, a new color was accepted in the Rat Terrier breed by Universal Kennel Club International.
That color is Red Fawn.
Erik left me suddenly in February 2004. At 14 1/2 lbs. with a temperment and conformation to match his beautiful color, Erik was the love of my life. He is missed beyond words. |

Calico Run's Hurricane Mitch (March 21, 2007)Here is the Hurricane! Born January 12, 2007 out of CH Calico Run's Fetchin' Gretchen by GRCH KND's Blue Cyclone at Lone Oak, Mitch is a real head turner. 7+ pounds of blue/white/tan tuxedo rattitude. And those white front legs make him look like he's dancing!
I'm keeping my eye on this boy. He's got a lot of style and personality. He'll be interesting to watch as he grows and learns. Of course, Mitch is already certain he knows everything! We'll just see, won't we. |

Calico Run's Claire Skies (March 21, 2007)Sweet faced, diminuative, delicate in appearance --- do NOT be deceived! This little white/apricot piebald lady ~ born January 12, 2007 out of CH Calico Run's Fetchin' Gretchen by GRCH KND's Blue Cyclone @ Lone Oak ~ is certain that her proper place in existence is to be the center of the Universe! Watching her romp and play, it's hard to not believe it right along with her.
With bloodlines to die for and carrying virtually every color available in the Rat Terrier breed, Claire will hopefully make her special mark in the world! We'll just have to see what that is. |

Wonderful temperment and tremendous conformation, Gretchen is 14 1/2 pounds and is OFA certified "normal" for patellas, elbows,and cardiac and "good" for hips.
Gretchen attended her first show in Norman OK in March '05 and then went on to Gainesville TX in April '05. 2 Best Female Variety and Reserve Best Female.
In September '05, Gretchen won her first major toward her Championship at Terrell TX. March '06 Gretchen won her 2nd and 3rd Majors in Hutto TX making her a UKC Champion! Thank you to Judges J.D. McNutt and James Heinz.
April 22, 2006, Gretchen earned the First leg toward her Grand Championship at Denton TX under Judge Lisa Enriquez. She also won Best of Breed in the same show. Same day, Show 2, Gretchen won her Second leg toward her Grand Championship under Judge Butch Bennett. On September 16, 2006, Gretchen earned the Third leg toward her Grand Championship. Two more legs to go! We're so proud of her.
Gretchen is an absolute dream, and she has blessed me with four beautiful babies in January 2007. She - along with my Leif - blessed me again December 2007 with four more little delights (See Album #2). They are everything and more than could have been hoped for! |

Calico Run's Scarlett O'Terror (July 23, 2007)Scarlett passed over the Rainbow Bridge July 23, 2007.
Scarlett was the awesome product of Maggie and Leif. Born August 20, 2005 as an "only child", Scarlett showed herself to be more than capable of taking on the world all by herself!
A blue fawn baby with "rattitude", conformation, color and spunk to spare. As the last baby out of Maggie who is now retired, Scarlett stayed here at Calico Run. We were blessed to have this delightful little "terror" as long as the good Lord intended.
Scarlett and her grand daddy, Erik, are romping together on the other side. We thank the Lord for giving this little girl to us for the time we were blessed to have her. |

Calico Run's Leif Erik's Son (June 6, 2006)At 14 1/2 pounds, Leif is high energy and a very happy boy. He is out of Erik's last litter - born February 29, 2004 - and is showing himself to carry those wonderful "Erik" genes. See his lovely daughter, Scarlett O'Terror, in another album. Leif is OFA Certified "Normal" for patellas.
Leif's legs are springs in disguise! As a pup, Leif was always jumping from the arm of a chair to an outside table. Keeping him on the ground was quite a task.
Happy, loving, adventurous, and wonderful to look at, Leif is joy in motion.
Album #2 shows what Leif produced with Gretchen in December 2007! Wonderful babies! Thanks, Leif!!! |

Maggie Registered name Margaret Thatcher, Maggie - now retired - is the first Rat Terrier to take over our household and is the undisputed queen bee at the Kennedy household. She owns the man of the house and has slept under his arm since puppyhood. Maggie has no pedigree but to look at her and the puppies she's produced, it is obvious someone forgot to write something down!
Maggie is a black/white/tri saddleback Type A who weighs in at 12 1/2 pounds and carries all of the admirable traits of a Rat Terrier. Extremely alert, quick, and hunter extraordinaire. She teaches the others about squirrels, rats, mice, possum and snakes. And she shows them how to get the job done. |
