20 sounds a reasonable guesstimate but don't get hung up on size (thats what i tell the wife) your pup will be what it'll be..enjoy...atb

gonna be very hard to tell unless you have pics and meausurements of parents....even then it could throw back to somthing further back in the line.

any previous litters from the breeder to compare to ?

he is used as a rabbit dog day and night but as got a thing about the red uns good all round dog very head strong when he was younger but as settled in to a good dog marks up great when out ferreting and can do a good shift on the lamp no good on hares not bred for that but as a rabbit dog he can do the job atb troter

the more i hear about this cross the more i think it's gonna be the one for my needs.

thanks Troter for taking the time to answer.

This is the litter sister to Troters bitch, she's 19" to the shoulder she's not a bad rabbiting dog ferreting and lamping works around the cover with my jack russel.

Good points

she's quick off the mark, turns on a sixpence and runs clever, ( she don't miss alot when fit on the lamp)

Bad points

not a good retriever, she's a bit nervy around other dogs ( not aggressive), ideally another coupe of inches would of been nice.

 

All told decent little dog and I'm pleased with her, also great around the kids and you don't know you got her in the house

 

Good luck with your dog mate

nice looking bitch mate mines picking up a few bad traits at minute but in the house he is spot on with the spaniel which i thinks half the battle if he makes twenty plus ill be happy nineteen today so should theoreticlly make it easy enough mines for small fields and working off the shoulder of the spaniel and the odd night lamping fingers crossed should make a decent rabbiter.
