RaganRat Terrier Kennel




Logo designed by My Logo Dog


RaganRat Terrier Kennel is located south of Knoxville, near the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in Greenback, Tennessee. We raise and show Rat Terriers and American Hairless Terriers. We may have 2 to 4 litters available during the year. All adults are OFA tested. All puppies are imprinted daily, litter box trained and well-adjusted, happy puppies.

Not only are the dogs our  companions, family gems and pampered Show Dogs, but also farm working animals. We welcome visitors. We do ship puppies, but if possible, we like to meet new owners. Many times, clients schedule a mini-vacation and tour Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the mountains when picking up a puppy. We can also try to help arrange delivery, depending upon where you live.

RaganRat Terrier Kennel is proud to be a part of the NEW Rat Terriers magabook, out July 2006. Special thanks to writers Susan McCullough and Farrell R. Clancy for including us in the articles “The Rattie Resume” and “Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Moe”. Dog Fancy, December 2007, includes the Rat Terrier and puppy photos, by Diane Lewis, which the litter was sired by one of our very own home-bred boys.


It's a pleasure to share our dogs with others, to see and hear-about the happiness they provide. If you want to show and win prizes, go hunting, are handicapped and in need of a companion, or just need a friend, we may have the perfect dog!

Westminster 2009
11. Westminster 2009 

I always wanted to attend the Westminster dog show in Madison Square Garden. It came as a wonderful surprise when I WON the opportunity to go, through DOGFESSIONS, an online contest for dogs and their people. My daughter and I left Feb. 8 from Knoxville, TN, and flew into Newark. The following days were fast-paced. New York City is an interesting city to experience...especially for a couple of country girls. We pounded the asphalt trails, rode the subways, heard many different languages, tasted different cuisines...and basically learned how big city folk live. We enjoyed our stay...however, it was nice to get home to the farm and hear the "quiet"... and a few crickets.

Special thanks to Nikki Moustaki of Dogfessions for such a wonderful prize package! Thanks to David Frei for the Westminster tickets and The Muse for their wonderful hospitality!

Professional Photos @ Ijams Nature Ctr
14. Professional Photos @ Ijams Nature Ctr 
Professional photographer Jeannie Harrison of Close Encounters of the Furry Kind was in Knoxville for a three day professional photo shoot. Two of our dogs and one we co-own, were invited to attend the "Beautiful Dogs" campaign. Jeannie operates a stock photo agency in Deep Gap, NC. Her work has been regularly published in a number of magazines including Dog Fancy, Dogs for Kids, Popular Dogs, Dogs USA, Puppies USA, Dog World, AKC Gazette and Just Labs magazines. CEFK also works with a number of calendar companies. To read more about Close Encounters of the Furry Kind visit www.cefk-llc.com or cefkphotos.com

We certainly hope to see Keyno, our Rat Terrier, or Sage, our American Hairless Terrier, or Heathen (AHT bred by our kennel) in print someday. Nevertheless, we were honored to take part and had lots of fun. The professional photos that were taken of our Dogs are coming to this album SOON!

The Turner Family Relief Fund


On Saturday, March 15, 2008, tragedy struck Mike and Bonnie Turner when a tornado struck their home in Aragon, Ga. Bonnie was killed in this tragedy and Mike was critically injured. Their entire house and their kennels were destroyed along with everything they owned. Many of their dogs were also killed, however some survived with varying injuries. Mike has undergone major surgery and faces a long and difficult recovery. We know that Bonnie would want her dogs and Mike taken care of and we are working on that.  All proceeds from your contributions will go to the Turner Family and/or the care of their dogs. If you would like to contribute to the Turner Family Relief Fund via PayPal, address your payment to: paypal@ahta.info Please include "The Turner Family Relief Fund" in the "Subject" and/or "Message Area" when making a contribution. If you are not comfortable with using PayPal and still want to help, please mail your contributions to: Turner Relief Fund c/o Melissa Kidd 4509 Pete Lane Trinity, NC 27370

Falconry
22. Falconry  (2009)
I've been blessed in my life to meet interesting people and form friendships because of my dogs. We had a wonderful family visit our farm in April 2009. The Besosa family and their Red Tail Hawk "Rev"...(Reverend) came to learn about the wonderful Rat Terrier breed, and as a bonus, I learned about falconry. Brent is the President of the 4 Outdoorsmen Ministries, Producers of "God's Great Land Of The Wild" TV Series, Producers of "The Gospel On Series" Evangelistic Video Tracts for Fisherman and Hunters and "In The Field" Wild Game Event Harvest Ministry. You can learn more about their ministry at www.4outdoorsmen.net . Please enjoy the beautiful pictures of "Rev".
