Rat Terrier. "The Rat Terrier was originally bred for ratting and farm work. A multipurpose companion dog that is capable of hunting rodents and vermin above and below ground, and to course small game. He is a sturdy, compact, small-to-medium sized parti-colored dog giving the appearance of elegance and fitness, denoting speed, power and balance. Honorable scars or a couple of broken or missing canines or incisors teeth are not to be faulted. The following is a description of the ideal Rat Terrier. Variations are penalized to the extent of the deviation." - http://www.akc.org/breeds/rat_terrier/index.cfm
Westies!( West Highland terrier) They can smell a rat from far away. They are adorable but come in one color, cream-ish white. They are sturdy, and if they ever get stuck in hole somewhere, you can pull on their tails, it doesn't hurt the dog unless the spot that it's stuck is very very tight(like a sewage pipe), you may need a fireman's help for that.
