Orcinus Kennels
Karin Nelson British Columbia, Canada
Thank-you for stopping by
my website, if you've been here before you'll notice all the major changes I've been making...For those of you who had never been here before, originally we
were called Kal-Rat Kennels...An old friend along with myself were going to be
in this together, but we have long since parted ways, so I decided to make some
changes and continue on with the Rat Terrier Kennel...I had never seen or heard
about the American Rat Terrier until the winter of 1999, they are not common in
Canada...I received my first Rat Terrier in the summer of 2000, after doing a
lot of research over the internet and emailing Rat Terrier breeders from all
over the United States, where they seem to be the most common...My first
Rat Terrier is a male who I named (Salem), he is quite the little dog...Salem
and I travel back and forth from Vancouver BC Canada to Tulsa Oklahoma at least
3 or 4 times a year, and he is the best little traveler, because he only weighs
in at 5.5 pounds he gets to travel with me as carry-on, and calmly sleeps the
whole flight away under the seat in front of me...I purchased Salem from Marion
Shiller a breeder in the heartlands of Texas, Marion has been great with me
and I just admire her, Marion is a caring, honest, sincere breeder...Recently I
had the pleasure of flying to Cameron Texas, where I got to spend some time with
Marion, her husband, and not to mention all the dogs in her kennel...Marion
and I have been working together for just over a year now, and I couldn't
ask for a better person to put all my trust in, she is just great and if I have
no puppies available, I'll highly recommend
Marion as a Rat Terrier Breeder...As of April 17th, 2001 Salem had to be
neutered, and will no longer be available for Stud services...Since this
time I have worked closely with Marion and have since acquired an 11 month old female (Orca)
and a 9 week old male (Kandu), I hoping to have my first litter in the spring
of 2002...I've not only dedicated my site to the American Rat Terrier, but also
to my favorite most powerful creature in all

the world the "Killer
Whale", that's where my new kennel name comes from "Orcinus"
meaning "Killer Whale", which is where "Orca" derives from
and "Kandu" is named after a male Killer Whale in Ontario Canada...I
have plans to name all the Rat Terrier's I acquire after the great Killer Whales
being held in captivity, I'm a strong believer in allowing these Killer Whales
to be freed...After a lot of consideration and thought, Salem will play a
great part in my kennel, as he is the oldest he will teach all my young right
from wrong, guarding them from harm and playing with them to keep them occupied
and out of trouble...
