carolyn's precious Prague Ratters Kennel
What is a Prague Ratter You Ask
You are about to learn about the
smallest, smartest, healthiest, funniest and most adorable
dogs in the world. They are the healthiest because of
the stringent breeding rules the Czech Federation's Prague
Ratters Club insists on. Dogs are not allowed to breed
until they reach 15 months old. When a litter is born,
a breed advisor visits the litter within 6 to 8 weeks of
age. Any defects automatically disqualify the puppy
for a pedigree. If an owner wants to breed his dog,
the dog has to be shown twice in dog shows with an
acceptable showing, and then inspected by 3 breed advisors
for conformation, personality, coat, etc. before they are
allowed to have pedigreed puppies. So one of the
reasons I was drawn to this incredible breed is that I have
lost dogs to cancer and other diseases here in the U. S. and
Prague Ratters live for a long time with no health issues.
I tend to grieve too much for any of my pets.

The Prague Ratter is
the smallest dog in the world, and is extremely
loving, intelligent (meaning they house train
themselves) playful, agile and alert. Unlike
other small dogs, they love children and have
absolutely no health issues. They have the
personality of a Labrador and are smarter and more
in tuned with their owners than any other breed.
They are NOT pocketbook dogs, they love to run and
play and do agility. Many men and women use
them for therapy dogs due to their loving
personalities and intelligence.
A brief history tells us that they originated in the year 1000 and were owned by royalty. They were given as gifts to other royalty. Due to the Russians invading Czechoslovakia, Prague Ratters were relatively unknown outside the country and just were accepted in the Rare Breed Association of America in 2016.
Carolyn’s
Precious Prague Ratters Kennel has imported 23 Czech
Federation pedigreed Prague Ratters from the top
breeding kennels in the Czech Republic. Due to
the importance of having gene diversity, the top
breed advisor helped us pick out puppies throughout
the country, and we traveled over 1,000 miles around
the Czech Republic picking up our puppies.
Every Czech ‘litter gets examined by a breed advisor
at the age of 6 to 8 weeks. If they find any
defects, the puppy doesn’t receive a pedigree.
To be allowed to breed, each dog must be in 2 dog
shows and get good ratings and then be examined by 3
experts to make sure the disposition, conformation,
coat, etc. is acceptable. Only then are they
allowed to breed at 15 months of age. This
strict breeding practice explains why Prague Ratters
do not have health issue
Our kennel has shipped
all over the country, to Canada, and even Albania.
Many of the people that have bought our puppies have
come back for another. One of the Czech
breeders told me that Prague Ratters are a legal
addiction, and I totally agree with this. They
do well in apartments, and other types of housing.
They bring such joy and happiness to their owners.
Prague Ratters are
also extremely fun to be around and act like little
monkeys. They can climb trees, jump straight
up and turn in the air, run, run, run, and always
are more than ready to be the best cuddle buddies
you could ever want. My husband watches
football with a bunch of them on his lap and they
all take a nap, too cute!!
All puppies come with a
health certificate and appropriate vaccinations and
worming. They can be returned if you are
unable to keep them as long as they are in the same
healthy condition as received. Buyers are not
allowed to sell or give away one of my puppies
because I consider myself always responsible for
their well being. My gene pool is from
the very best pedigreed breeders in the Czech
Republic. I have developed excellent personal
relationships with eight of the best breeders and
met with six of them this past summer as I traveled
the Czech Republic picking up puppies. I have
imported 13 from the last two years in addition to
picking up the six this summer.
If you have researched
this breed, you know that European royalty owned
them in the year 1000. The breed standard is 2
to 6 pounds. My concern is always what is best
for my pack, so mine always have access to food.
I have no desire to breed the smallest, only the
happiest and healthiest. You might have read
that they housetrain themselves. I found that
hard to believe until I started having litters.
From the first time they step outside, they go poopy
and potty. I couldn't believe it! I
started taking pictures so that people would believe
me.
One of the Czech
breeders told me that Prague Ratters are a legal
addiction, Boy, is that right. I love being a
caregiver for my pets, but I do not enjoy selling my
babies. I'm afraid I think that no one
can take as good care of them as I do. I know
this is wrong of me, but my family will tell you how
strict I am about this.
By the way, I used to
breed Yorkies and thought they were the best, but
they did require a lot of grooming. Prague
Ratters can get by with a damp washcloth most of the
time. Also, no shedding.
