Answer by  dcrusher59 (590)

Blue rat terriers are rarer than most of the other pigmentation seen in rat terriers. Rat terriers have a complex system of dominate and recessive genes that give the color to the animal. The Blue Terrier must follow a particular gene set. For the Blue Terrier the gene pattern is Aat BB dd. The double recessive black gene is rare.

Blue rat terrier's are considered to be semi-rare and should contain absolutely no black markings on their body. It should be noted that the UKC does not recognize blue terriers for competition.
