The Andalusian Terrier (Ratonero Bodeguero Andaluz) or Sherry Terrier (Bodeguero Jerezano) is a Spanish breed of dog of terrier type. Its Spanish name reflects its main occupation: hunting rats and mice hidden between barrels in the wineries of Andalusia in Spain. It was recognised as an indigenous Spanish breed in 2000 by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture and by the Spanish Kennel Club, the Real Sociedad Canina de España.
The Bodeguero Andaluz has been declared ‘Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial’ (which translates to intangible cultural heritage) by the city council of Jerez de la Frontera in 2020 due to the value of this breed and their connection to the cities and the wine cellars
