Having read Patrcik Burns excellent website I am curious to know what the measurements are of the UK based terriers, so can folk please measure the chests and heights of their terriers and post the results on this forum.

[bigdan 11]

mines 16" and a half to the shoulder and 12" around chest

[spindolero 1,111]

mine's 13" in height and 10" around the chest i think

 

If it's the dog in your avatar Blue i'd bet it was bigger than 10' round the chest.

[Guest rattdog]

mine is 12.5 at the shoulders and the chest is 13.5, P. burns had a cool article on his site about a study on foxes in the states.

out of all the foxes killed none had a chest span of over 14 inches, thats a tight den pipe digger. small dogs that are built for earthwork are worth thier wieght. it seems like alot of jack ass breeders over here in the states always ruin a working breed by making it bigger. A compact, powerfull and a smart dog seems to be the ticket, I ran into this guy at the park who had a 200LB rottie, a genetic wreck of course I dont think this breed was ever meant to be this big, also pitbulls over here are being pushed up to over a hundred pounds, another usless genetic wreck to make his owner feel like a bad ass, my red nose female pit was about 35 pounds but was a strong, athletic ,balanced dog with a bite like a steel trap, she passed away a few years back. now Im just starting to get into ratting and earthwork,If there is one thing I learned It is not easey to get good dogs....heres a pic of my new pup the black one
