Guest pip Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Im not talking of 12" up its the 10" light things im on about,a monster 16" 30pound dog is no good but theres a decent size for a earth dog and once you go above 2" or below 2" of that size your wasting kennel space,unless as you say mate you can cater for both,BUT as breeding goes would you breed 2 10" terriers together to get a litter of decent practical earthdogs?

Greengrass 201 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Why not ? if they were both 10" and good proven workers why not ? Quote Link to post

CAN YOU IMAGINE SUCH MITES AGAINST A BIG ANGRY DOG FOX WITH A VANTAGE POINT IN THE BURROW STANDING MUCH OF A CHANCE AFTER A 1,2,3,4 HOUR DIG?????? Quote Link to post
Greengrass 201 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm not saying as a rule, or building a kennel around the two 10" dogs, what i am trying to say is there is enough shite out there being bred just for the sake of a quick quid, why not at least improve your chances by breeding two PROVEN 10" dogs together if the chance arises, instead of just grabbing a dog and breeding it to your bitch just because he's got a bit of leg on him, granted your point that the smaller ones will find it harder going against a big dog fox or angry vixen but why not go with the worker to worker regardless of size.

CAN YOU IMAGINE SUCH MITES AGAINST A BIG ANGRY DOG FOX WITH A VANTAGE POINT IN THE BURROW STANDING MUCH OF A CHANCE AFTER A 1,2,3,4 HOUR DIG?????? why not keep small stuff if your working foxs alot a small dog is realy what you need i understand what your saying but iv seen a few small dogs work fox on long distance better than bigger dogs. true they will get a few marks but if there good enough to know how to hold fox till dug to arent they handy to have.i work a small enough dog and a big type dog the small dog is geting a bit to old so i got the bigger one to do the work but on most digs this season i was lucky to have the small dog with me to do the job.the big dog was a waste of time spending ages trying to get to fox point im trying to make most of the fox earths are to small for big dogs so why not have a small dog that will work both sizes successfully.and a nuttel is one of with good heart for its size.
