Number 1.
7
Their History The rat terrier dogs have many parent breeds and were developed by a cross between a smooth fox terrier, an old English white terrier, a Manchester terrier, a bull terrier,
8
a whippet, an Italian greyhound and a beagle.
9
They were first bred to the US in the 1890s and were originally bred for rat baiting.
10
The then US president Theodore Roosevelt is said to have given
11
the breed its name after his terrier had successfully eradicated the rat infestation at the White House in the early 1910s.
12
Later, by the 1920s, they became one of the most popular dog breeds in the U.S farms.
13
Finally, the rat terriers gained full recognition from the AKC in 2013.
14
Number 2.

16
These guys are friendly, affectionate and loyal to their family members.
17
They are humorous, independent, hardworking and lively dogs with a little mischievous personality.
18
If you own one of these dogs, you'll spend most of the time laughing at their playful activities.
19
Number 3.
20
They are Rat-Controlled Dogs As we've mentioned before, Rat Terriers were bred to catch, prey and hunt rats on farms.
21
American farmers preferred these dogs over pesticides and rodenticides because owning a Rat Terrier was much more convenient than using harmful chemicals.
22
Because of their popularity, new lines in the breed were developed from Rat Terriers.
23
For example, in the Midwest, Rat Terriers were bred with Whippets and Italian Greyhounds to produce quick dogs
24
that could help control jackrabbit populations and in central southwest America, they were bred with beagles to improve their hunting skills.
25
Number 4.
26
They are excellent scape artists.
27
These dogs are known to be excellent scape artists, as digging is an inherent trait that they possess.
28
Because of this, your Rat Terrier will spend a great deal of time digging in your yard.
29
Don't panic though, as long as you provide them with the place in your
30
yard where they can dig up to their heart's content under your surveillance, they won't try to escape.
31
But remember, these terriers have high wanderlust potential, meaning that if you are not around to supervise them during their digging sessions, they actually might end up escaping.

Number 5.
35
They need regular exercise.
36
Bred to work all day on the farm, these guys need a lot of exercise and if they don't get it, they'll find ways to amuse themselves by creating a miss in your yard.
37
You can help your rat terrier exercise for at least 40
38
minutes every day in a fenced yard with a lot of room for them to run around.
39
Or you might also want to take them for hiking, cycling, and jogging with you.
40
These dogs have high exercise needs and if you have a busy lifestyle, rat terriers might not be the ones for you.
41
Number 6.
42
They have a high prey drive.
43
Rat terriers are not off-leash dogs because they are bred to hunt
44
and they have an inborn desire to chase and hunt other animals.
45
If you keep them off leash while on a walk, they are likely to attack smaller animals like cats, hamsters, chinchillas and even small dogs.
46
So always remember to keep your dog on a leash while going outdoors.
47
However, if your rat terriers are raised with a cat, bird, chicken or other animals in a household, they'll generally get along as family members.
48
Number 7.
49
They are wary of strangers.
50
These dogs are very wary of strangers.
51
They might give signals to warn you about intrusions in your house.

Rat terriers have a general dislike of strangers.
54
They're absolutely fearless and if not properly socialized, they could be aggressive towards strangers.

But have patience, because bonding with these dogs takes time.
57
Number 8.
58
They're easily provoked.
59
Despite their size, rat terriers are very strong dogs.
60
Aggression in these dogs varies from an individual dog to another that can at times be friendly towards other canines, but it greatly depends upon the behavior of other dogs towards them.
61
Rat Terriers are easily provoked and won't hesitate to take down an aggressor five times their size.
62
Because these dogs are easily provoked, it's highly recommended that you keep them on a leash to avoid them from biting other dogs or even people.
63
Number 9.
64
The grooming needs.
65
Although rat terriers have high exercise needs, they require relatively low maintenance when it comes to grooming.
66
You can brush your rat terrier once per week with a rubber mitt
67
or a soft brush to remove loose hair and debris.
68
Because they have a very short, dense and smooth coat that does not get dirty too soon, you can bathe the Rat Terrier only when needed.
69
Rat Terriers experience heavier shedding during the fall and spring and during heat cycles, so grooming should be much more focused during these times of the year.
70
Number 10.
71
They are prone to improper bites.
72
Rat Terriers are generally healthy, but like all breeds, they're prone to some orthodontic problems like an improper bite.

Maloclucin, or improper bite, is a slightly deformed jaw structure that leaves the jaw misaligned.

of a dislocated jaw, your rat terrier may find it difficult to chew food, especially bones and bone treats.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
