The Rat Terrier is the dog that hold the impressive record of killing 2501 rats in 7 hours; another Rat Terrier is noted for eradicating rats from the White House. The breed name comes from the occupation of its earliest ancestors brought to the US by working class British migrants as these quick, tough little dogs gained their fame in rat pit gambling. However they were, for the most part, bred for speed. Their speed is used for controlling vermin and hunting squirrels, hare, and other small game. A Rat Terrier was mentioned in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird published in 1960. Sean Connery's character attends a rat baiting match in the 1978 movie The Great Train Robbery which features a Rat Terrier.
