Best Answer

Rat terriers are special because they are not prissy or snippy. They are very adaptable dogs, and they love to play, plus, they don't hold grudges against humans who have harmed them in the past. I have a Rat terrier named Copper, and he is the best dog in the world. Although Rat terriers may look cute and little, you should consider the fact that they have extremely powerful jaws and sharp teeth. Once I gave Copper (my dog) a chew bone that was meant for giant labradors and boxer dogs, and he literally ripped it to shreds! But I think you should seriously consider a rat terrier, because they are inexpensive, adorable, playful, and loving.
