What chest size is the biggest you would put to ground

[Guest Countryboyo]

What chest size should a terrier be less than for you to be happy to put them to ground?

Ya the reason I ask is because my russel has a farely deep chest but has been to ground several times while ive been out bushing with him. Going to try him on a dig over the winter as I will be getting a locator for my ferrets anyway but I think I will measure him first and If ye think he is too big to risk sending to ground then I wont bother cheers!

 

 

as you can see the f****r has a deep enough chest

spannable is for shows if the dog wants the quarry and can get there it will small chest usually produce small head that cant take much punishment if the dog gets there and make contact i dont care what size they are as long as it stays till i get there

i wouldnt worry too much mate its the overall size of the dog not just the chest weight, height,etc

Fuckit I thought i had better photos. trying to give an idea of the size. the staff he was playing with was young at the time. He wouldnt do that to her now .....

I can span my dogs head.,,,,,,,, only joking. Worrying about spanning a dog is way down on my list of what I consider important.

no worries mate looking at the picture my opinion bud

[Guest Countryboyo]

Id reckon he be ok . It was probably a stupid topic to start in fairness to dee mac. I was just wondering If any of you had a general rule that if a dog was over a certain size he wouldnt be entered or only in certain places etc... Cheers for replys
