This powerhouse Rat Terrier brother/sister team are prepared to be the pups of legend. These tenacious dogs have hunting in their blood and a special passion for chasing balls. Of course, they’ll be great on defense too, since they’ll chase just about anything that runs. Look out, pups, your heels will get nipped. These twins aren’t leaving without a victory bone.
