Pleased be advised of our standard policies which you must agree upon prior to purchasing one of our puppies.
#1 - All puppies from Warren Mountain Rat Terriers will have names that are preceded by "WarrenMtn" both on AKC and UKC registration. - Any breach of this policy by new owners will be posted on the "Wall of Shame"
#2- All puppies from Warren Mountain Rat Terriers will be kept AND housed by their primary owner or co-owner on record. If this is no longer possible, for any reason, primary owner and co-owner must contact us in order to return the dog to us, or seek our permission to re-home the puppy. This policy will help us protect our dogs and puppies from winding up in a shelter or rescue.

However, we do ask you to exercise common courtesy and give credit to "Warren Mountain Rat Terriers - www.wmratz.com" in the caption of each photo that you borrow.
