borderline 0 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 keep her interested, she might fire up in size, as long as she is vocal and got some spunk in her she might be a mint dog atb Quote Link to post

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 She'll be small by the sounds of things, but at 7 months old she's got a bit of weight to put on yet. Make sure she's looked after, wormed properly, and see what you get with her when she's older. Best of luck with her. Quote Link to post
wirral countryman 2,110 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 That pups still got a bit of growing to do but small terrier's can be very handy,just keep them out of rabbit holes as they can dig themselves in easilly,I had a bitch 8"tts and only weighed 9lb that could bolt a fox but if it did'nt go after 20mins she'd come out,she just never had the head size or weight but I had other terrier's that could finish the job properly,still they can be handy in places you should"nt be,is it snipey headed or boxey ??atb,wirralman Quote Link to post
marshman 7,757 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm in the same boat, my young bitch is tiny yet the sire is 15 inch and dam 13 . I was gutted that she won't make the size, but she will get the same chance to prove herself when the time is right 1 Quote Link to post
Storm da bull 7 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I just thought she won't grow that much more being 7 months she is 6in tts I'm just hoping that she fills out a bit more is there anything I could do ie change her diet supplements to give her a bit of a spert. Im still trying to get pic of her up but failing haha But as always I'm not gonna give up till u guys can see her atb Quote Link to post

The weight means nothing. Quote Link to post

wooly 24 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Don’t worry about the size my old bitch was 10†to the shoulder but would stay forever she just didn’t have the size to finish the job but she never sustained any bad mauling’s she seemed to use her head more new her limitations I guess.

steveS.Yorks 161 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I like small dogs to be honest,if they are baying/bolting types that use their head size does'nt make much difference at all,just dont expect it to do things it physically cant Quote Link to post
