Valencian Terrier

The Valencian Terrier, known in Spanish as the Gos Rater Valencià, is an ancient breed native to the Valencia region of Spain, with roots tracing back to the terrier-type dogs brought by English traders and travelers during the 18th and 19th centuries. It is a lively, affectionate, and alert dog that is devoted to its family and possesses a spirited, curious nature. The breed was developed as a skilled rat-catcher, used extensively on farms, in homes, and aboard ships to control rodent populations throughout the coastal regions of Spain.
