Does anybody have a working miniature or small jack russell?

[spazzy paddy 127]

i know what yeah saying about 9 inch dogs i had 1 years ago when to ground no probs the only problem he would take to much stick and be out of action for weeks, alot of the sets a did where no more than dug out rabbit sets and some where really tight .

ok gonetoearth is a 11" or 12" " size dog ok and what do you use?, online there is many reports of 11 inch dogs being fine above and below.

Big strong dogs cant get in where little dogs can ive had a couple of patterdales and i thought i would get a jrt for a change

Had a small russell years ago, bought him at the Pytchley kennels and had numerous foxes with him over the years that hounds had run in.

A very strong bayer who was right up to his fox when we broke in or quite often bolted it.

 

Never had another like him.

ive had a few small russells back in the day. and some of them where very handy. same as the bigger ones some are better than others. but even the poorer ones could get to and bolt a fox. if used right they where very handy. as for the bigger terriers. if they go to big they are nigh on useless. an earthdog that cant get. kinda defeats the purpus imo

Not sure, we were down collecting hounds and the kennelman showed me some youngsters he had and i took a fancy to one of them. The parents looked well worked.
