NATIONAL RAT TERRIER REGISTRY----WHY
US?
With all the Rat Terrier Registries out there why
do we need another. Because the NRTR is not just another Rat Terrier registry
and was formed because we didn't just want to be another registry. The
NRTR consists of members and associates who are Rat Terrier owners that
love them, hunt with them and have them as their best friend. We don't
just register dogs, we own them and live with them as part of our family.
There is no interest in quantity, we will sacrifice the market place. This
registry is run by members and is also a place to meet and share your thoughts
and ideas with other RT people. We offer a helpful Newsletter where you
can share your pictures, stories and just plane old brag about your pup.
The information that is provided will keep your Rat happy and long lived.
.
We have separated ourselves from any political arena
with dedicated members, associates and honest breeders. As a full service
registry we pride ourselves on honestly, dignity and quality. We don't
keep records on hundreds of dogs that we have never met or seen. We specialize
in Rat Terriers and Rats only and are solely dedicated to all related Rat
Terrier breeds. State Inspectors are in place through out the USA, available
and ready to check out all claims. If someone is having a problem in determining
if the dog being registered is a Rat Terrier a State Inspector will be
sent out to evaluate the dog. If one is not available in close proximity,
you can obtain special forms that are taken to your vet for verification.
You get stable reliability and save money by getting the best this world
has to offer the Rat Terrier.
Our goal is to keep in tact the 3 qualities that are
essential to the Rat, and they are:
Quality 1. A capable utility/hunting dog.
Quality 2. A wonderful family companion.
Quality 3. A watch dog with keen alert senses picking
up intruders very quickly.
You shouldn't settle for anything less.
.
On our certificates we will list color and genetic formula
(if it is a photo pedigree), type, size and the Kennel Name of the breeder.
This insures that you have purchased exactly what you thought.
The genetic system allows people to trace
the history of their dog and
verify the accuracy of the lines.
Your dog's history is more completely documented.
Future litters can be tracked more easily and
the proper mates matched.
Color genetics allow for authenticity of the
lines. Color genetics are very accurate. Dogs of certain colors can only
produce pups of certain colors. If a litter shows up with questionable
colors it is fully evaluated for authenticity of the genetic makeup by
tracing back to the grandparents, great grandparents and so on.
By keeping the Kennel Name our breeders will have pride
and responsibility about their lines guaranteeing the quality you are looking
for. If you are on the NRTA breeders list you must offer the customer a
written guarantee. Please see Breeder's Code
of Ethics.
.
The NRTA is
strongly against hybrid dogs being registered as Rat Terriers. The NRTR
will continue to reject into it's registry any dog coming from any club,
organization or registry that is involved in the cross of the Rat Terrier
and American Hairless Terrier and classifies them as a Rat Terrier.
Any dog registered with the United Kennel Club who's heritage has not been
previously recorded with the NRTR will be rejected.
