Ratified and adopted May 22, 2009 Approved November 11, 2009 Effective July 1, 2010 LIVING CONDITIONS Rat Terriers do okay in an apartment, but need at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. They are fairly active and should have at least a small-to-medium-sized yard. They love to be inside the house and outside to play. Rat Terriers love to dig, and they can get out of a fenced yard relatively easily. As long as they have proper protection, they are able to spend a good amount of time outdoors. The breed enjoys challenging games and outdoor romps.
