When 19th-century American farmers needed a small rodent hunter, they crossbred multiple Terrier breeds with Whippets, Greyhounds, and Beagles to create the lovable Rat Terrier. This dog was quick and adept at hunting rodents and other vermin above and below the ground. Also an excellent watchdog and companion, the Rat Terrier became a staple on farms throughout the nation.
