Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! The ideal weight depends on the skeletal size of the dog. Below is a link on body condition scoring. Rat terriers range between 10-25 lbs. The mini is 10-13 inches and the standard is 13-18 inches in height. https://www.wsava.org/WSAVA/media/PDF_old/Body-condition-score-chart-dogs.pdf Have a good day!
