Looks like you have the parts, Chief.
Feel I need to utter a few words of praise for small dogs, especially terriers and most especially Rat Terriers. Rat Terriers were once known as Fiests. These scrappy little guys were once kept on most farms in the US to control rats and have, I understand, Manchester Terriers, Fox terrier, Beagles and Whippets in their lineage. They are currently favored for hunting, scent dogs by law enforcement, agility trials and pets. Frequently confused with the doughty Jack Russell terrier, they are usually longer in the leg and deep chested and of a more mellow disposition. Mine is fading fast, but when younger she was almost catlike in her penchant for sitting on the back of chaurs and couches. I once had a Weimaraner, about 85 lean pounds, and certainly appreciate bigger pooches as well. Being an old man now, taking care of a small dog, especially providing the exercise she needs, and when travelling by car, is much easier than wrangling an 85 pound dog. Having said all this, I must agree with Mark Twain who said outside of a dog a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it is too hard to read. Regardless of breed, I surely love dogs.
Be well and safe.
