She's adorable, and she's going to be a bigger rattie too! You're right, they take a special kind of person, they can be loyal to the end, but also are super energetic and opinionated. Our BOSS dog is a 13 year old 9 pound rattie female that beats up the 100 pound bloodhound daily, she ends up rolling him and standing ON him growling, beast that she is!

We have 4 ratties in all (no, don't breed!) and they keep life VERY interesting AND keep the bloodhound on his toes.
