Description |
This small sized breed is
always tri-colored (a solid white body with a black & tan head) and
has a short smooth coat. |
Temperament
|
Typical of the terriers,
the Perro Ratonero Andaluz is very
active, lively and tenacious. They are good guardians and sweet
with people, but have a strong prey-instinct. They are also very
fast and agile dogs and are used for killing vermin such as rats and mice,
in horse stables and in Andalusian cave homes. They should not be trusted with non-canine pets. Be sure to be this breeds firm, confident, consistent pack leader, to avoid behavior problems from developing. Not recommended for the average pet owner. They need to have their minds challenged along with plenty of mental and physical exercise. If they sense you are not as strong minded as they are, the dog will believe they are alpha and the humans will run into issues. Do not allow this dog to develop Small Dog Syndrome. |

Exercise |
This breed needs to be taken on
a
daily, brisk, long walk or
jog. While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. |

Origin |
The very rare breed may
have descended from a fusion between old British Terriers-types (similar
to today's Fox and Jack Russell Terriers, that the English brought to vineyards of Jerez de La
Frontera-which is where Sherry comes from-in the region of Andalusia,
Southern Spain, during the wine exploitations) and the "Raterillo", a local/native breed related to the Miniature
Podenco Andaluz (a breed similar to the Miniature Portuguese Podengo or
"Podengo Pequeno"). |
