How Small is Too Small?


Recommended Posts

As it says on the tin. I have for this season two Patterdale Bitches, one ten months old and ten inches at the shoulder and a seven month old bitch that is about eleven inches. Both are work bred. Do you think they are too small for serious earth work? I shall put some photos up shortly.

If you were to have a fight with someone with the lights off ...it wouldnt take you long to figure out how big he was

the physical size of the animal. if there rock hard and dont have the body mass they dont last long. depends on the quarry being worked to.

That little black dog i had was 8year old when he was robbed,as i said he never sounded and accounted for a lot of quarry,couple of here seen the dog work,both sides of the pool and any stuff that was

Hi mate, the smallest bitch is 10lb and the other is 12lb. When I first started hunting in the early seventies, the Terrierman for our local Hunt had a strain of 10" JRT's that could bottle up a fox in no time at all, and go the distance. I do believe some of his stock came from the late BG.
