Terriers are rat killers, born and bred. Powerful front paws for digging, and the instinct to shake their prey breaks the rat's brittle bones, killing it. Just don't turn a domestic pet loose on a barn-full of rats because it makes them kill-crazy for months afterwards. You could get in trouble with the neighbors when the dogs attack and kill their pet cats instead of the usual stand-off.
