Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Ed. I am 6 years old, 16 inches tall, and 22 pounds. I am a standard Rat Terrier, and currently live with two other dogs that I have had no problems getting along with (or any other dogs I've ever met). I used to have a cat and I really liked to chase and bark at her, so I probably wouldn't be a good match for a home with cats. I love children! I'm a little overwhelming for very small children, but I can't wait to visit with any kids over the age of 4 or 5. They seem to have the same energy level that I do, so we get along just fine. I have many hobbies; chasing squirrels, digging in the yard to get moles, etc. I do require a securely fenced yard, and you should be sure to check and make sure it stays secure, because if you don't - I will find a way out. My current mom rescued me approximately 3 years ago from a local kill shelter. We have trained in Rally Obedience and dog Agility together. I earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate a couple of years ago. I also have my ILP with AKC, so that I can compete in companion dog events. I walk on a leash without any problems and love to work... for food. I am in excellent health and my teeth are in good shape - and so is my waistline. If you are looking for a Rat Terrier with enough energy to play when you want who is more than willing to hang out on a blanket and nap too, then I'm the guy for you.
