Hello Doga, Nice looking type, height and weight, I think some readers have misunderstood my comments, possible because I did not elaborate my comments fully. Your terrier you can see strength in the head and muscle definition and her height is a decent height, if she was 14" and weighed 12lb you would see a massive difference in appearance and possibkle in her working capabilities (not her attitude to work) Experienced terrier men will know each individual terriers capability, there are some earths a terrier will shine, take the same terrier to another area/different type of ground/sett etc and it will not shine, make hard work or even fail. A terrier I had, now retired aged 13 was a big terier, I always said if he was 5lb lighter and a couple inches smaller he would have been a phenomanal terrier. Since self entering at 14 months old (just over 1 hour dig) 2 things the terrier never done right through his working life, fail to find and stay until dug to, however, to work by percentages he probably had a % success rate through out his career. His few failures were all down to the wrong terrier for the wrong sett, the dog couldnt get on or move easily, sandy places with rabbit type tubes, the terrier looked poor. The same terier then taken to setts that didnt matter how big or deep would excell, people who have worked a variety of areas and types of soil compound will under stand my comments How is she bred?
