Renegade American Tunnel Terriers
;)
This young att is showing good structure at a young age.
;)
As much as the att loves house time with its owner; they also do very well as outside dogs.
The American Tunnel Terrier is by far the most versatile vermin trap in the terrier world today! There is no other well-rounded terrier that can match the intensity and drive of this little dog when working. After a hard day ridding the world of unwanted vermin, they are happiest relaxing with their owner. All family members including children are adored, not just tolerated.
Weighing in at a mere 10 to 20 pounds, this fully trainable companion/hunting terrier is the perfect addition for the landowner with many outbuildings to police for vermin.
Once you've had one of these little dynamos working for you, cats will become obsolete, other terrier breeds will pale in comparison, there will also never be a need to use dangerous poisons again!
American Tunnel Terriers, when socialized from a young age, co-exist well with other dogs, livestock, and most other family pets. They are wonderful companions for children, and are actually quite protective of their "young charges". They have qualities that most other vermin terriers lack: they can be easily called from ground, and are not destructive in a home environment like other drivier terriers may be. Although they might be harder terriers for the task of groundhog hunting, the character that enables these dogs to stay more focused is the same character that prevents them from running loose on a farm or ranch environment. The American Tunnel Terrier is one of the few working terriers that can be left alone to police the grounds for vermin. Mice and rats will be dispersed of daily, and the occasional opossum, or coon, will know that they are not welcome as well.
Renegade's American Tunnel Terriers are registered exclusively with the ATTA, the only true American Tunnel Terrier registry.
