Next Breed: Pudelpointer
Previous Breed: Portuguese Water Dog
The Prazsky Krysarik (Prague Ratter) is a small breed of dog from the Czech and Slovak Republics that is rarely seen outside its countries of origin.
History
It used to grace the royal palaces in the Middle Ages. It was later used as rat catchers by "ordinary" people. It has been a breed since before the Polish king Boleslav II The Brave (1058 -1080). He became fond of the Ratter. He had two and they came from Bohemia (the Czech lands). It is said that the Prague Ratter started to lose favor in the 19th century as the Miniature Pinscher became more prevalent. The breed started to experience a renaissance in the 1980s as Czechs and Slovaks started to breed them again.
Appearance and Size
The dog's coat consists of short, glossy hair and the most common color is black and tan, which is also the original color. Lately, other colors have been approved: Brown and tan, Blue and tan, Yellow, Red and Merle. It is 2 cm shorter in maximum height than the minimum height of the Miniature Pinscher. Ideal height is 20 cm to 23 cm. Adult height of under 18 cm or over 23 cm is a fault. Adult weight is mostly between 1,5 kg to 3 kg. Ideal weight is 2.6 kg.
Personality
The Prazsky Krysarik is very active, alert and lively. This breed is gentle and intelligent. They are naturally wary of strangers but are always loving to their family. This is a very quick and lively dog.

Pražský Krysařík a kotě si spolu hrají / Prague Ratter and European Longhair "fighting"
Náš - na videu asi tříměsíční - pražský Krysařík a přibližně stejně staré kotě si spolu hrají. Nutno dodat, že zdaleka ne vždy to probíhá tak idylicky. Obvykle je nutno obě mláďata násilně oddělovat, nebo si zacpat uši. Nikdy by jeden druhému neublížili, ale my na to nemáme nervy, abychom poslouchali ten "srdcervoucí" řev.

Obby is being smart and learned his tricks!
Oblin, our Prazsky Krysarik puppy, 11 weeks old. Knows how to sit, lay down, and give a paw, although he cheated a bit on the sitting part, he already knew what I was going to ask. He learned how to give paw yesterday =) And no, he can't sit up after sitting down, so I'm helping him with that.
