The Valencian Ratter (in Spanish: Ratonero Valenciano and in English: Valencian Terrier), or Gos Rater Valencià, is a dog breed originating from the Valencian Community in Spain. The breed was officially recognized by the Real Sociedad Canina de España (en) in 2004, and has gained recent success with a breed member winning the Spanish national dog show in 2011. In 2022, the International Cynological Federation (FCI) gave provisional recognition to the breed.
