Kerri Wenck, of Marathon, plays with Jynx, a 9-week-old Rat terrier puppy. A full-grown Rat terrier, Jasper, sits behind. Rat terriers are not yet accepted as a breed by the American Kennel Club, Wenck said, but they will be soon. She brought the dogs today to socialize. Wenck said Rat terriers make good farm dogs and chase vermin, and even Jynx caught a mouse the other day.
