Your bitch at 19" is small, but at 44lb I'd say it's sort of medium size. Regarding height I would class small as 18-21, medium 22-25, big 25-28, very big 28+. But that's all a bit anal lol, we all know there are dogs of a particular size that shouldn't be able to do a certain job due to their size, or lack of it, but do it regularly anyway. Anyway, that bitch of yours looks a nice powerful thing 1 Quote Link to post
stewie 3,387 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 you would be amazed to see how far a fallow buck can run with two 70lb dogs hanging off it, and the amount damage that that can be inflicted in that time, and thats after the fist strike has taken it to the ground so your knocking deer out with your fists.............

C Hall 552 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Small dogs could pull deer but it was better to watch bigger dogs that could get the situation under control and not get dragged about. 4 Quote Link to post
Rabbithunter 456 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Just waiting for the fabled 22inch beddy whipet that pulls red stags In my opinion,and my opinion only, if your game was deer,then you wouldnt have got in a small dg.... especially where fallow sika ree deer where on the menu. I had a 27" dog he would pull fallow does on peace even the larger does of 100lb weight but come the bucks it seemed he would chase them and just keep pushing . Now and then though hed get one, if running doubled. They are big animals that can jump for fun... and demolish walls fences etc 1 Quote Link to post
C Hall 552 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Just because a dog has size on its side does not automatically make it good at pulling deer Edited June 2, 2013 by C Hall Quote Link to post
