Prairie Dog Sports Dog of The Month July 2026

The Rat Terrier is a tenacious, all-American farm dog, originally bred for versatile pest control.

The Rat Terrier is a smart, energetic breed known for its hunting prowess and affectionate nature. Today they make devoted companions, versatile partners for dog sports and companions that thrive in active households.

We are very excited to feature a lovely representative of the breed for this month’s dog of the month, let’s meet her! Wicken, also know as “Ticky, Brat, Wicky-Ticky, Time Bomb, Crazy Pants, or the black pingpong ball” is a 2-year-old rat terrier.

A little dog of many names, she excels in everything she does. Wickens and Kyle’s adventures started out as a secret... that would be a secret from Kyle. Being that she was to be a surprise for Kyle as his first sport dog partner.

Getting to pick and watching a tiny black puppy go from being born to chasing and biting everything in our house at 8 weeks old was super special.

Wicken has been a star from the start, at 7 weeks old she was already showing major interest in gerbils. In true rat terrier fashion, she is incredibly smart, mischievous, loves everyone and every dog, fears nothing and always up for a good time.

She loves working and learning new tricks, is up to any tasks Kyle asks. She completed her CKC Championship under a year old, and earlier this year finished her Grand Championship.

She currently competes in Barnhunt, NASDA and Sprinters. She is very excited to be making her dock diving debut this summer as well.  

When Wicken isn’t being a superstar you can find her snuggling up to her people or tormenting her other housemates.   For a young dog she has achieved a lot!

Officially know as - GCH Trymines Twilight Rider @clarity UPAT LPAT LI-I UL-l RATM CRZ8B SD-I NS UC2-1 TL-I

 Conformation: Champion and Grand Champion She is currently the #5 Rat Terrier after limited showing, #1 female 2026. And was #4 Rat Terrier 2025, #2 female for 2025.  

Barnhunt in 2025: she was #2 Rat terrier in senior (Canada/US), #9 overall in senior (Alberta), #16 overall in master (Alberta)  

Watch for her at BHA, NASDA, NADD and Sprinter events this summer!  

She has a bright future, and we are very excited to see where this Team goes next!

Congratulations Wicken on being named PDS Dog of the Month for July 2026!
