"Earth!" 503 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 depends on the type of land you work .horses for courses . different terrier for different earths.. as donny said, the chest is a factor but the legs.... they fold up.... Quote Link to post
dogman1 5 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Just got a dog pup there and I'm just worried he might b a bit big for earth work so was just curious what the rule of thumb was. Thanks for the replies so far. Quote Link to post

Thanks for the replies so far. you wont know til ur pup is near full grown then span him around the chest if he is a bit on the big size you will only be able to work certain spots . try gettin a smaller made terrier aswell as the one you have cover all your options it helps to have a few different tools in ur box Quote Link to post
dogman1 5 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yeah il bring this pup on then get an idea before taking on another pup, thanks for the advice Quote Link to post
