Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 He's still got filling out to do at that age, but I wouldn't worry about that. Just do your best by him, his head and leg size wont determine how good he is. Best of luck with him. Quote Link to post
terrierjohn 49 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 long legs dont mean much they will fold away as long as he is spannable then the legs mean feck all Quote Link to post
Born Hunter 17,751 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 As much as we all have the 'ideal' in our heads, at the end of the day the most important thing in a terrier is whats in its head and heart. Quote Link to post

Mustard. 83 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Even if he is leggy it wont hinder him. I have seen a pat dog that is 17tts work regular,his front legs straight out in front of him and pushes on with his back legs. Nice pup. Edited January 15, 2011 by Mustard. Quote Link to post

"his head and leg size will determine how good he is" that has to be the biggest load of shite I've ever heard, the size and growth of a dog has f**k all to do with how good the dog will be, I've got a Plummer who has really long legs and a small'ish head and I dig to this terrier every weekend, in shows it will benefit the dog to have average size head and legs depending on the breeding standards but when working the terrier it has nothing to do with size, this is proven by the fact that there's so many different sizes of terriers for example the in Germany daschund 'sausage dog' are used to flush out badger and other burrowing animals and I think you'll agree that this breed is not what I would call an average sized dog, but best of luck with your dog mate I'm sure it will all work out well for you. All the best Ryan i think you need to read attack fell terrier's post again buddy he doesnt say that "his head and leg size will determine how good he is" he said "his head and leg size WONT determine how good he is" Quote Link to post

Guest rexdigger Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I had a patterdale dog many years ago had legs longer than a supermodel I used to chuckle when he went to ground we nick named him the hosepipe as that's what he resembled when laid out flat one good thing about having a leggy dog is generally if there's nowt at home you don't have to wait for the dog to run the earth as they won't put the effort in to just run it for nothing IMO Quote Link to post
