Rat Terrier Breeders California
If you are considering purchasing a Rat Terrier, the first place you should look is at a breeder in California. This state has an abundance of breeders and you will want to make sure the quality of the puppies is top-notch. If you are unable to locate one, you should seek help from the Rat Terrier Association of California. The organization’s mission is to promote responsible breeding and maintain the breed’s true history and true origin. It also maintains a comprehensive registry and a passionate, knowledgeable breeder community.
Before choosing a particular breed of Rat Terrier, make sure you visit the breeder’s kennel to meet the parents. This will ensure the puppy has lived in a clean and healthy environment. If a breeder won’t let you meet the parents of the puppy, you should look elsewhere. However, if you feel comfortable asking to meet the mother and father of the puppy, be sure to ask to meet the mother.
If you are interested in joining a breeder’s club, the Southern California Rat Terrier Club has an online Breeders Directory. All breeders have agreed to follow a Code of Ethics when breeding their Rat Terriers, and this information can be downloaded for free. If you have the resources and would like to join the club, you can register your dog at one of their Specialty Shows in Pomona, California.
