Maple Hills Kennel
Rat Terriers
Miss Petunia “Petie”
“Petie” is a Standard size Rat Terrier. She is registered Foundation Stock with the UKCI and her offspring are available for full registration. She is a Type A Rat Terrier. She has produced puppies of all colors. Past litters have included tricolors, apricots lemons, chocolates, and blues.
She has the classic Rat Terrier personality, excellent temperament, highly trainable and solid structure. All of these make her the foundation of my breeding program.
In addition, Petie is an excellent mother, wonderful pet, a natural hunter, and a potential Therapy dog. She welcomes all of the new families when they come to look at puppies and I could not begin to count the times people have asked to take her home instead of a new puppy!
In addition, Petie and I are currently taking classes in Agility. She is old to start this training but she is a joy to work with. Her natural desire to please me and her incredible spring makes agility work look easy.
Maple Hills Amber Delight - Amber - AKC Foundation Stock
Amber is Petie's daughter. She is is a beautiful Chocolate Tricolor. She has a gentle but playful nature and she was a wonderful mother. The standard tricolor is black, tan, and white. Amber has chocolate coloring where the black would normally be. She has solid conformation, is a Type A and just fits into the standard size at 18 pounds. She is registered with the UKCI and AKC foundation stock. This registration is key to breed's development as foundation stock registration is one of the stepping stones to full acceptance into the AKC.
Amber carries recessive color genes for blue and pearl colors. Like Petie she is a natural hunter and any small rodents had best be on the look out when she is in the area!
Maple Hills Tiger Woulds “Tiger” - AKC Foundation Stock
Tiger is a beautiful Rat Terrier. While the girls have solid conformation he has the "flash". He has beautiful conformation and when he trots or runs it is pure elegance.
Tiger is UKCI registered and is AKC Foundation stock. He is a type A and tips the scales at just over 18 pounds.
He is an excellent stud dog with the "machismo" needed to get the job done while at the same time he is easily handled and loves people. He produces consistent puppies of a wide variety of colors.
