Rapture Rat Terriers
Welcome to Rapture Rat Terriers
I am a small breeder and dog fancier located in the Monterey Bay Area of California.
My goal is to thoroughly enjoy my dogs and participate in various dog related activities such as Conformation, Obedience, Rally-O, Agility, Terrier Racing, Weight Pull, etc. The Rat Terrier is truly an all around dog. They make wonderful companions, are fierce hunters, can be completely silly at times, and most of all are a tremendous source of joy to own. It is impossible not to fall in love with this Breed. The saying “Nobody can have just one” is absolutely true.
I am in the early stages of my venture into showing\raising quality Rat Terriers. I began showing in UKC Conformation shows in 2006. My dogs are all UKC\AKC FSS Dual Registered Type A Standard Rat Terriers.
My breeding plans involve producing offspring of superior quality, health, and structure suitable for Conformation, performance sports, or simply a happy family pet. In pursuing such plans, there will be an occasional breeding with puppies available. My first litter will be in the Spring\Summer of 2009. All my dogs will be OFA tested prior to any breeding.
I have a love of learning and strive to continually increase my knowledge and expertise in the areas of Dogs, Rat Terriers, understanding the Breed Standard, Genetics, Structure, Movement, Conformation, Testing, and Training. The wealth of knowledge available and the people willing to share it is enormous.
This journey has brought so many wonderful people into my life each of which has helped me in their own special way. Their love of the Rat Terrier breed is contagious. I shall be forever grateful for the kindness and support shown me by these individuals. My show buddies have become friends and an endless source of happiness and laughter not to mention tears, worry and frustration. You have all enriched my life and made it fuller. A very special thank you goes out to Debbie Glaspey for being the catalyst I needed to bring Jesus, our Lord and Savior, back into my life. God is smiling on you.
I am happy to report I am now owned by two Rat Terriers. Please enjoy Bodie and Kindle's Albums. Feel free to contact me at Rapture Rat Terriers

Archie was my best friend's Rat Terrier, often referred to as her "little man". He was the first Rat Terrier I knew and stole my heart with his rattitude. He was a loving, faithful, and protective soul. He was greatly loved and is missed by his family.

Best Friend, protector, and a good boy.
We miss you every day; Your bark, how you would attack the TV screen at every creature on the Animal Planet station, the tricks you would do for chicken, the way we would read the paper together every morning, your proud walk, and how you would snuggle at our feet.
Love Brenda, Ila, and Kristi Dixon. |

Other Pets (May 24, 2006)These are my beautiful cats that will be sharing a home with the Rat Terriers. They believe the dogs are just silly creatures and certainly not as dignified as themselves.
