It's a Rat Terrier Thing You Wouldn't Understand
Small, fast, and permanently convinced there is something worth digging up.
2 designs of the same line, so you can pick the artwork rather than settle for the first one you find.
Small, fast, and permanently convinced there is something worth digging up.
The newer of the two Rat Terrier designs.
Breed shirts live or die on accuracy. A rat terrier owner will spot a design drawn from the wrong breed immediately, and crosses are the easiest to get wrong — the coat and the ear shape are usually what gives it away. Look at the artwork before the slogan.
Across the 2 designs here the wording is identical, so the choice is which drawing actually looks like their dog.
This works for someone who has explained their breed to strangers more than once — the rare breeds and the crosses especially, since those owners almost never find themselves on a shop shelf. It falls flat for someone who just likes dogs generally; for them a plain dog design is the better buy.
Rat Terriers were bred on farms to do a job, and the prey drive is intact. Owners with small pets plan around it rather than hoping.
They are fast, athletic and much sturdier than their size suggests.
People confuse them with Jack Russells routinely, and owners have stopped minding.
The wording only works when it names the exact breed, so it is worth checking before you buy. Saint Berdoodle, Saint Bernard and Samoyed each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
