awww YAY!! another ratty! we have one and she is 9 months old! thats her below

we got her at about 8 weeks old.. they are sooooo very sweet.. very very very hyper but awesome dogs!! training is tough.. you just have to spend lots of time with them.. also make sure you get it used to people.. you will be thankful for it later.. when we got emma we took her everywhere.. especially the car meets where everyone could hold her and she meet lots of people! oh yea.. and they chew like crazy.. we've been giving emma cheeweez.. she loves them.. invest in lots of bones!! congrats on your new pup!! let me know if you have any questions.. remember to keep their brain stimulated.. they love learning new things!! if they get bored they act out.. emma likes to chew/dig the carpet and god forbid there is any loose paint on the wall.. we have quite a few holes in our wall from her!!
she is only 11 lbs so your male might get a bit bigger than her.. is he full bred? if so are you going to bred him down the line? we are considering it with emma.. but she is too young right now!
