my terriers

[m.r1 7]

One of the best terriers I've seen in a good number of years is about 12/13lbs soaking wet. Taffy owns her now and she is something else. Sometimes it's not all about the size in the dog....sometimes it's all about the grunt and the brains rather than the bulk

 

With out sounding degrading, have you much experience in the terrier world? Have you worked terriers in various parts of the country or in various types of earths/setts? 12 to 13 lbs, most rabbits would batter, ok for cubbing! Come to think of it, there is a certain part of my anatomy below my waist that weighs more!

 

Is Taffy from Scotland?

Is Taffy from Scotland? No mate, he's from Wales funnily enough

 

As for my experience, I've seen a few dogs in the ground in most parts of the country. Believe me, this bitch is something.

to me size doesnt matter we got a little black dog 12 inchs and i would say 12/13 lb hes a stocky type of dog and we have had some very good digs with this dog size isnt everything we have dug this dog in all types of places

[Guest G.Mac]

" I would imagine around 22lb to 27lb,"

Isnt imagination a wonderful thing.

Think this speaks volumes.

[Guest whitser]

its not the size of the dog in the fight,its the size of the fight in the dog.

funny how generally the terriers that make a name for themselves on the boards seem to be the bigger 20lb+ dogs??

just an observation

[celt 1]

very true. I have found dogs of about 20 - 25 lb suit me best. Had some good wee uns but prefer the larger dogs

She definately is some bitch, and she doesn't know she is small, she is one of the gamest bitches i have ever seen in fact gamer than most dogs I have seen too.

The knack she has for work is incredible, and REAL work.

Maybe a 12 - 13 lb terrier wouldn't suit you MR1 but until you have seen the bitch in question I don't think you can generalise, in saying that I know a lot of people that wouldn't entertain most of the big 17" nigh on 30lb terriers that you own/speak of. Taffy the sweaty

Fine looking Terriers mate

Although I must confess I do like a heavier build I've had it proved to me on many an occasion that size has nothing to do with the gameness of a Terrier.

One particular friend of mine has the exact double of your black n tan and it's gameness is unquestionable it has though recieved more than it's fair share of injuries,would it have recieved as many if it was more stocky I'm not even going to speculate.

For what it's worth Woody I'd be happy to work 'em Mike...

woody [pieman] hope they do well for you this coming season mate .....john
