About 5280 Toy Rat Terriers

Why we named it 5280?

When I began breeding,

I was a resident of  Colorado.

I lived there from 1993 -2019

5,280 is exactly one mile above sea level,

The reason Denver is referred

to as the Mile High City. 5280:  

Elevation of  Denver, Colorado

Who are WE
We are 5280 Toy Rat Terriers

  I  am the President for I.D.R
International Dog Registry

 

I abide by the code of ethics set by the

International Pet Registry

And a District Vice President

 and Secretary

for

National Rat Terrier Association

​

I guarantee and stand behind all the

dogs that I adopt to families,
references are available.

I take pride in my business ,

and the ability to serve my clients and continue to exceed

the expectations  most have about a

“DOG BREEDER”,

I do not just  breed, I raise.

I have many references you can refer to, please ask.

Why offer you such high quality puppies?

 Because we are  responsible

and specialize in  breeding

neonatal puppies , and genetics
Call anytime,  303-905-7717.

Even if you are not purchasing a puppy,

I will be happy to answer ANY questions you may have.
I wanted to exceed the expectation of a breeder

and offer our clients and  puppy’s a head start

on the issues that are most often overlooked, training.
I am confident you will not find any other

French Bulldog breeder offering trained puppies,

or giving you access to a trainer.
We do this to make the transition

less stressful on you and your new puppy,

after all it is about the puppy right.

We interview all applicants, many have not qualified,

this is very simply because it must

be the right fit for you and the puppy. 

It is very important for the future

owners to follow through with the training

in order for the puppy to settle in and feel more comfortable

 in its new environment.
The amount of socialization we give the puppies away from

 the other puppies and with human touch has a lot to do with how well

your new puppy bonds and adjusts to its new home.
Our puppies wine less,

if at all and crave human contact more,

so there is less adjustment for them to leave their siblings.

I am not breeding dogs for the sake of breeding dogs.

Many dogs do not fit into my expectations

of qualified breeding stock.
Call me picky.

We all breed for different qualities.

I myself breed for temperament, health, size,

unique color and pattern.

Offering you the client the best and highest

customer care is my priority.

 

I studied , implemented, and

have successfully bred down Toy Rat Terriers

from a lineage producing 4-7 lb dogs to

a lineage producing 2 lb - 3 lb full-grown dogs

with successful out crossing ,

and selective breeding.

Years of breeding has developed the smallest,

healthiest, and most conformed lineage in

Teacup/ Toy Rat Terriers.

It takes many years, and dedication,

we turn down more dogs for breeding than we select.

This makes the process even more time-consuming,

however the results are that much more fruitful.

When selecting a puppy/dog for breeding the selection process is tedious.

It may have 10 qualities I like and one I do not,

 if I can not breed out that one quality w/o multiple breeding’s, I will not breed the puppy.

I have to be this selective,

or my breeding program will just go backwards.

 

For this reason we have decided to breed and produce the highest quality Toy Rat Terriers.

Applying the same principles in breeding, and selecting only the finest lineages for our breeding program.

We may only have one litter per year,

however, if it produced ,

the one puppy I needed to move forward,

it was successful.

 This is how tedious the process can be.

We do not just breed to breed.

Our wait list can be long.

Who does not want a trained puppy?
