thank you ewoodward for posting that. alot of people don't know how to properly give both sides of the story. it helps emensly when choosing any breed. only responsible breeders give all the facts. for example, i love my rat terrier to death, but i'd never get another one again. true they are very loving, very smart, and very loyal. however they are loyal to a fault. they are possive and very territioial. and there territory is where ever they can see, where ever they are at. and out of the dozens that i have met they are all pretty much the same. again, another breed that you don't want as 100 lb. dog. however, they are Great hunters, and will restrain their prey drive for other house hold pets.
i really wish people would give both sides of the story more often.
