The Teddy Roosevelt Terrier is a
dog breed. It is a
terrier formerly known as
a Type B or Short Legged
Rat Terrier.
When the types were separated, the new breed was named in honor of
US President
Theodore Roosevelt as it is believed that he owned this type of ratting
terrier.
Appearance
The Teddy Roosevelt Terrier is a sturdy dog in the preferred length-to-height
ratio of 10:7 or 10:8. It comes in a variety of colours and markings but must
have some white; a solid white dog is acceptable. Merles and any solid coloured
coat other than white are disqualified. A square or long-legged dog is
disqualified. The dog has a broad wedge-shaped head, v-shaped ears button or
erect, slightly oval feet, and a
docked tail is preferred. A
scissor bite is preferred but a level bite is acceptable.
The breed standard specifies that the dog is to be evaluated as a working
terrier and hence ‘honorable scars’ (those received in the field) are not to be
penalized.
The Teddy Roosevelt Terrier was recognized by the
United
Kennel Club on January 1, 1999.
