I was hoping she would be a bit bigger than a patterdale but not much bigger. If she gets much taller and bigger I probably should have got anothe lurcher like the one I have already. How big she will finish of I dont know as she just seems to keep growing,Her paws are huge.I would recommend this type of dog.She is only a pup and she is doing brilliant.She doesnt fly around like a spaniel. Shes ferreting about 2 months or so maybe a bit longer, time flies when your having fun. Shes doing a little bushing not much as shes been out ferreting and with my lurcher. I will leave the lurcher at home
