Billy Warren 43 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 my 1st terrier's was short legged jacks about 8tts stood as hi as a pint glass would go to ground but got punished every time to small but had the drive. pout her to a lakey dog and got the most ugliest terrier ever she was a bit bigger about 10tts with queen ann bow legs small head and lakey marking. they both worked well as a teem would get any where the only thing they went to ground on rabbit lost them one time for two days and when I font them all what was stopping them from getting out was a brick as the pup when in 1st and dint have the bran to dig round it. I ended up loosing the old bitch to a big hole we think i went back for a week and the land owner was looking for her but no joy it brock my hart at the time and ended up selling the pup to a mate as I didn't wont to go throw that a gen. knell I wish I still had them to day and breed a bit of bone in to them 1 Quote Link to post
shovel leaner 7,650 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I was given a small Russell dog a couple of years ago by some lads who loved their bushing . They couldn't stop him going to ground which for them was a problem because the ground they worked had a lot of public around . He can get anywhere fast , has an excellent nose , doesn't mess about , if there is nothing at home he won't enter . In short a very useful dog . I went to a hunt show a few weeks ago , the Russell class was very well attended , but the size of them ! My dog was tiny by comparison , the other dogs were like donkeys , huge . How the hell they can work fox is beyond me , my dog which is easily spanned struggles in some places , these things wouldn't get their heads in the hole . Give me a small Russell with a sensible head any day . 5 Quote Link to post

shovel leaner 7,650 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I don't think you should be too hung up on size to the shoulder , just if you can get your mitts around its ribs . My local hunt terrier man breeds a line that are quite leggy but easily spannable and I think that is what is so important . 4 Quote Link to post
