Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Too small for what? They are cracking little dogs with big hearts. Ask northernlite on here. It's all he will have now. I think his have got a touch of greyhound in there. He loves them though. They are brilliant little dogs. Quote Link to post

AirgunGuy 362 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 If it's bigger more open fields then the bigger dog has the advantage but in smaller fields where they need to catch quick and with a lot of turning...you can't beat the wee dogs ;-) Seen NL's wee Blue work and he's superb at what he does ;-) 1 Quote Link to post

pernod 466 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 They are brilliant wee dogs. But as has already been said. It depends on what your hunting. Your wee bitch may well make your mates bigger crosses look 'silly' on some game. But im afraid that there are some areas of our sport where the bigger crosses should outclass the wee bitch. Just enjoy the wee bitch and make the most of her attributes. Yours in sport Pernod. 3 Quote Link to post

terryd 8,531 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Kizzy great dog never measured her but she was tiny. Brilliant temperament and great little worker. Lived to ripe old age as well If a rabbit was way out in a big field I just got between it and home and slipped her as the rabbit got closer but I did that with bigger dogs any way common sense. No point wasting dogs energy storming off after a rabbit miles away Quote Link to post
