I think Skipper's mother is one of the prettiest rat terriers I've ever seen, and his father isn't half-bad either. I can't decide whether I'm hoping for the lopsided ears like his dam or the prick ears like his sire. I think the mismatch is cuter, but if I ever wanted to compete in conformation it is considered a fault (though not a DQ). According to the UKC Rat Terrier standard, matching ears are strongly preferred. Both parents are 18lbs so it's a good guess that will be almost exactly how much Skipper will weigh at maturity as well.
