Teddy Roosevelt Terrier

The Teddy Roosevelt Terrier is an American breed developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from a mix of small terrier types brought to the United States by immigrant workers, believed to include Smooth Fox Terriers, Manchester Terriers, and Beagles among others. Named in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt, who reputedly kept similar ratting terriers, the breed was prized as an efficient farm ratter and versatile hunting companion. Today's Teddy Roosevelt Terrier is a sturdy, low-set, and muscular small terrier with a lively and devoted personality, making it an adaptable companion for active families.
