| Brief History: The Teddy Roosevelt Terrier is descended from the terriers brought over by English miners and other working class immigrants.

These dogs were used as ratters, and soon became known as "Rat Terriers." Two types of Rat Terriers evolved. The differences are the leg length. The short-legged Rat Terriers are called the Teddy Roosevelt Terrier. |
