Coming up on 10 months

Don't have great pics since she's always moving. She's coming up on 8 months I believe.

My female at around 7 months old

the whippet/pat is the dog closest..a big one can probably get to 20 lbs or so. Most are probably 12 to 15.

Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge of what you guys have over in the UK to compare to what we have. They can get quite big--I have some pictures, but don't know if I'm allowed to post? What I do know, in my limited experience, they are the best test for a dog in the area where I'm at (east coast). The settes are complicated, can get very tight, and they put up a good fight. They can also back fill and trap a dog. Because of these different factors, for me, they are a great quarry to test our dogs on.

Thanks. She has been so far, listens well too--I've really enjoyed her.

My little patterdale/whippet here in the USA. She's about 14 inches tts. Been on coon, possum, groundhog, rabbits and squirrels.

There's some good guys around doing earth work with terriers. I'm in South Carolina, I'm only a couple years in to this, so very much a newbie, but get out as often as I can. My dogs have been on possum and groundhog in the ground--still haven't gotten a coon yet. Mudcat on here has some good white dogs. As far as hunting terriers in the US, many use patterdales, JRT, jagdterriers, and mixes of any or all. Whatever works, depending on the quarry and size of the settes in the area, and what you want to do. Most guys seem to adjust their dogs and hunting styles to whatever quarry they ar

Probably around 12 lbs or so, I need to measure them again, but I'd probably put them at around 14-15". Solid little dogs though. The mother is mostly patt with a little bit of pit and jagd in her. The dad had about 1/8 pit in him, and was maybe only around 20-22 lbs.

I've got a couple of whippet x patt pups that are super fun. About 6 months now. Just started them on mice/rats, and they'll go in a hole. Fun little dogs for sure.

LOL I'm just trying to put up a couple pics of a couple of my dogs. We do hunt coon, groundhog and possum here. The dogs above have only been on possum and coon, but I've gone out with others for groundhog. No claims as to these being the greatest workers or me being an expert. I've not been doing this very long, and neither have those dogs...Foxdropper's observations are correct! No big deal...

Short dig today. This JRT has really surprised me...he was a stray that my friend found and passed along to me. He was extremely overweight when I got him, so he's been on a serious diet. I figured he was just a house dog, (and maybe he was), but he seems to work pretty well. Still a little too big for most settes around me. My Patt--LOVE this girl. Hasn't failed me yet, and small enough to get pretty much anywhere. Sorry for the bad picture quality.
-
Yup. Actually the russell is a stray a friend of mine found and gave me last week. He's too big for what we hunt in the ground here, but a nice dog. He's fat, so I'm thinning him down, and we'll see what he can do/where he can fit, when he's in shape. Here, we hunt groundhogs, raccoon and possum.
-
Just thought I'd share a couple of pics of my dogs.
-
They aren't as hard on the dogs as groundhog or coon. This one is on the larger side.
-
Thanks...The bar is a shovel that got buried, I think. Yeah, the t-shirt is sothe deer hunters can see us!

Got out with Mudcat, a member of this forum. He was great in helping me start my dog. The weather was not cooperating but finally located something on the second day. Took us about an hour and a half to get down. All in all a fun day out.

Thanks Mudcat...had a great time, and learned a lot.
-
Thanks for the advice guys. She's a little over a year I believe. I'll let her out with the others and see how it goes.
-
Not really let her off yet. On the leash she listens pretty well.
-
Thanks for the advice. I'm still a bit nervous about her running off, so that's the reason for the collar and leash. Francie, she's bull/whippet.
-
My first sighthound mix, from a friend here on this board. Finally got her out in the woods today, I've only had her for less than a week, hence the leash.
-
I am as well!
-
They are both young dogs, but on possum and coon so far. Dug to possum, coon was above ground.
