Description

The Pek-A-Rat is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Pekingese and the Rat Terrier. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

Suki the Pek-A-Rat (Rat Terrier / Pekingese mix) puppy at 11 weeks old—"She is a high energy dog. Very smart, she knows several commands so far. And has a really good sense of smell. She is always sniffing out the treats when they are hidden throughout the house. Suki is a really friendly dog with a nice personality."
