Prague Ratter

🐕 Prague Ratter Collection – The World's Smallest Dog Breed by Height

The Prague Ratter — known in Czech as the Pražský Kršíček — holds the distinction of being the smallest dog breed in the world by height, typically standing just 7 to 9 inches at the shoulder and weighing between 2 and 6 pounds. Despite its diminutive size, the Prague Ratter is an ancient and historically significant breed with roots in the royal courts of medieval Bohemia. The breed was a favorite of Czech and Polish royalty during the Middle Ages, kept in the courts of Bohemian kings and later popularized across Central European nobility. As its name suggests, the Prague Ratter was a working dog — prized for its ability to hunt and kill rats in the palaces and granaries of the Bohemian aristocracy, a task it performed with remarkable efficiency despite its tiny frame. The breed nearly disappeared during the 20th century but was preserved and revived by dedicated Czech breeders, and today it remains most common in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Prague Ratter has a short, glossy coat most commonly seen in black and tan, though chocolate and tan, blue and tan, and lilac and tan varieties also exist. Alert, lively, and deeply devoted to its owner, the Prague Ratter is a breed of surprising character and historical depth. Our collection celebrates this rare Central European breed with original artwork across a curated range of USA-made home décor and gift products.
