Origin

The Teddy Roosevelt Terrier is sometimes lumped in with the Rat Terrier. At one time they were one in the same, however with years of different breedings two types of terriers began to immerge. There was the standard Rat Terrier and a shorter legged terrier that was named the "Short-Legged Rat Terrier". This terrier later became known as the Teddy Roosevelt Terrier and was recognized by the UKC as a separate breed in 1999. Some still call this breed a Teddy Roosevelt Rat Terrier.

Teensy-Marie West the Teddy Roosevelt Terrier at 3 years old.

Teensy-Marie West the Teddy Roosevelt Terrier at 3 years old. "Teensy is a hyper ball of energy, but she does have her lazy days. She loves to lay out in the sun and sleep on what seems like the hottest days for me, she wants to sunbathe for a few hours. Teensy LOVES walks and meeting new people. When I break out the brush, she darts across the yard and I call her back to me......then she will sprawl out on the ground and get brushed. Lol! I love this little dog. To think, I used to hate little dogs. It took me a year to get used to Teensy, and I was very close to giving up this little pooch because of my training mistakes. I back-tracked and corrected it....now we go almost everywhere together. Teensy is spoiled!! She gets toys from Pet-co when we go, even though I know she would tear them apart in 3 hours or a day. She eats Merrick dry, Merrick canned food, Beggin' Strips, Alpo variety treats, Charlie Bear treats, Original Milk-Bones or sometimes scraps (good ones) and oatmeal, chicken juice (broth) and vegetables. She's very accident prone and has been patched up for a cut paw, pulled a muscle once, ate rat poison (thankfully caught her in the act), a small cut on the outside of her eye (led to swollen eye for a day) and many other things. Yep, she's a handful, but she's my handful until the day she dies. Teensy is my first and only dog......I love this little girl so much. Her full name- Teensy Marie West"
