The Prazsky Krysarik (Prague Ratter) is one of the world's smallest breeds, typically under 6 pounds. Developed in Czech Republic to hunt rats in castles, they're bold, active, and surprisingly athletic. Despite their size, they're not delicate lapdogs—they're confident working terriers who happen to be tiny.
Daily walks and active play keep them content. Their short coats are minimal care. They're alert, can be yappy, and may have big-dog attitude toward larger dogs. Not suitable for homes with young children due to fragility. They need socialization to prevent fear-based aggression. For experienced small-dog owners wanting an active, confident companion in an ultra-portable size, Prague Ratters are spirited characters with surprising stamina.
