Let me just start by saying that I could not recommend a better person or breeder than David Rufer to anyone interested
in purchasing a Prazsky Krysarik/Prague Ratter. He truly cares for all of his dogs & their well-being. They are part of
his family.
David is a wonderful person to work with. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on multiple occasions &
have never been disappointed. I first worked with David during the purchase of my PK, Roxy, whose parents are Sassy &
Flash. David was so good to keep me posted on her progress & growth. I have never experienced any problems with Roxy in
regard to her health or temperament. She is very friendly, sociable, loving, & accepting of new people & other dogs.
She got me hooked on the breed which led to me work with David again & again.
I know I will continue my working relationship with David because of his honesty, quality of pups, & overall concern
for the health & welfare of each dog he owns and sells. You, too will find great satisfaction in the purchase of one of
his pups. Do not hesitate to purchase from this outstanding breeder.

I am so glad I found David. From the very beginning, I knew that his main concern was that his puppies were going to
good homes. He made sure via e-mails that the puppy and I were a good match. When the pups were born, he sent pictures right
away. He continued to keep me posted of the progress of the puppies, so I got to see my little one grow even though he was
very far away. It was hard waiting, but I could tell by the pictures he sent that the pups were happy and healthy and growing
fast. When I went out to South Dakota to pick up my new baby, David was more that happy to meet me part way. My new puppy
'Dobry' (Czech for sweet/good) was a joy on the two-day trip home. He was very happy to be with me and my kids and did very
well in the car. We got a lot of attention at all of our pit stops, which was fun for the kids. They are so proud! A couple
of days after we got home, he was already adjusting quite well and sleeping through the night. He learned to sit by the time
we had him a week. (It only took about 10 min for him to get the idea). He has also learned to lay down. He is so
smart. Dobry loves to run and play. He wants to play with the cats, but they still aren't too sure about him. I love to take
him everywhere with me, and he loves to go. He even has a car seat of his own to keep him safe and allow him to see out the
window. I think I have the best puppy ever thanks to David!

David what to expect. David answered all of my questions about the breed and from his answers I was able to tell that
he was very educated and experienced in raising and breeding Prague Ratters. I knew one of Sassy’s pups would be mine.
At the time I lived in Dallas, Texas and I was concerned about not being able to pick out my pup in person though, so I asked
if I could come pick her up at his home in South Dakota. David was thrilled that I was willing to drive and pick her up. We
arrived at David’s home around Halloween 2005. David gave us a tour of his home and introduced us to all of is dogs
as well. I couldn’t believe the setup David has at his place. He has a heating and air conditioning system for the dogs
in the kennel area. Also they can go in and out when they want to run outside. But, best of all is that it was so clean, he
really takes pride in everything he does and it shows. David took us inside his home to let me pick out my pup and there they
all were in his kitchen and dining room, running around with there mom Sassy. Not any bigger than my hand! I picked out a
little girl and named her Zelenka, it means "little innocent one" in Czech. Zelenka is now a little over
a year old and we love her to death. She is such a sweet little girl. All she wants to do is snuggle and sit on someone’s
lap. She thinks she is a princess, but we don’t have the heart to tell her any different. She weighs 6 lbs. and is about
8 inches tall at the shoulder. Her markings are beautiful and her coat just glistens, in fact our Veterinarian mentioned how
she is in perfect condition and she couldn’t look any better. We are so happy with her I think we are going to take
another road trip to South Dakota get a little boy so she can have a playmate. Thanks Again David, Hal De Longchamp

I got a puppy from
David in November 2007. Working with David was great. He sent me pictures of Miikka at least once a week and was great to
talk to on the phone. He answered all of my questions and made me feel great about getting a puppy from him. I drove up to
South Dakota and met him and got my puppy. She is perfect. I have read all of the testimonials on his web page and they all
talk about the cuddly nature of these dogs. It is so very true.Miikka love to be in my lap snuggled up with me. She is almost
like a cat/dog mix. She cuddles like a cat, but listens and obeys like a dog. I am amazed at her intelligence. Most people
see her as a "purse dog" but once they watch her multitude of tricks and her obedience they are blown away.
Even the instructor at puppy school was amazed at how well she did in class outperforming the other dogs there. Getting this
dog from David was the best decision I have made. Sydny from Fort Collins, C.O.
My experience with David was great. He is a good, honest breeder. This was my first time getting a puppy and
I'm so glad that I found David. I feel so blessed. I'm so happy with my little Prague Ratter; we named her Pinky.
She is so perfect in every way. Pinky is very loving and sweet. She loves to cuddle and play. She is a very fast learner too.
I can't wait to teach her more. If you are interested in a Prague Ratter, I would strongly recommend to buy from David.
He makes it easy. He takes care of everything so you don't have to worry about anything. All I had to do was mail a check
and pick her up. It was all so easy.

We got a sweet little boy from you last December and are completely in love! He is four pounds and my husband
named him Moose. I am not sure if it's typical for the breed, but he is one big ball of energy! He could play
for 12 hours straight if he could find a willing partner. Moose is doing some agility to burn off the energy and is
one of the most trainable dogs I have ever seen (he's the perfect balance of smart and motivated). Our trainer can't
say enough great things about him. He goes everywhere with me so of course people ask about him and we have referred
dozens of people to you from Minneapolis. He love playing with other dogs, but he is an only dog for now. Jessica -

I have two Prague Ratter's from
David... both females. Tiki and Isabella are so intelligent and cute. David is a truly caring breeder.
The puppies were well cared for. We really enjoy our Prague Ratters. They are a constant source of entertainment,
love to be held and love to play. Both dogs are super fast learners, and are easy to train. They are fun
to take places and people always ask about them. I referred a friend to David, who now has a little boy ratter, Ziggy.
We have playdates with him. I would highly recommend David to anyone who is looking for a Prague Ratter. He is easy
to deal with, he keeps the dogs best interest as his number one priority and will do exactly what he tells you he will do.
You can count on him.

We received our little Bella on 8-31-09. She was so happy to see us at
the airport. It was like she was already a part of our family the moment she seen us. David was so great to work with during
this whole process. David is a very honest breeder that cares very deeply for all his dogs. He answered all our questions,
and we had a bunch of them. Lol. We highly recommend David for anybody wanting a Prague Ratter. Mark & Kim From Ohio
If you're looking to get a Prague Ratter you have
come to the right place. Working with David was a pleasure. He is honest, quick to return a phone call or an e-mail
and to answer any questions you might have, so take advantage and ask plenty of questions! David was also very good
about sending me pictures of the new pups. I have originally wanted a female but none were born when the timing
was right for me, and so I asked David's opinion. I never owned any boy dogs and was glad to have my questions answered
and my concerns allayed. I love my little boy! I wanted to pick up my pup but was unable to do so due to
my school schedule. I shouldn't have worried at all. Dude arrived December 8th, 2009. David got the pup
well used to the crate and he arrived completely unfazed by the ordeal. He simply wagged his tail as if to say "OK,
I'm here, now what?" He also had no problems or fears about going back in the crate, so kudos to you David, great
job! Dude is from Mishka and Bonifacs' litter from October 2009. I started litter box training from day one. At 8 weeks old he got the idea very fast. He
was consistent in just 3 weeks. He is 8 months old now
and absolutely perfect in every way! Let me tell you, they are smart dogs. He learned 'sit' and 'down' after only
one try, and 'roll over' in three days. He is energetic, affectionate and loving. When it's time to play it's
TIME TO PLAY! But when I have to study or want to watch TV, he's content to just sit on my lap or curl up next to me.
He loves kids and other animals. He loves to play and exercise. He can handle a 3 or 6 miles walk with no
problems, in fact he loves it. I often get astonished comments (both from strangers and veterinarians) about how, beautiful,
shiny and healthy he is. I've had many dogs of different breeds (including Dachshund, Chihuahua, Doberman, Pit Bull and a
police trained German Shepherd), so I do have some experience, but this will always be my favorite breed. So if you did your
research and decided this is a breed for you, go ahead and get a puppy from David. I promise you, you won't be sorry.
I know I'll be back :)
Thank you David for being
so understanding, flexible and patient!
