Shorter All Rounders

[jcm 2,327]

In a whole most of theses all rounders type I have seen have been 24tts + going up to 30inch and are very good at must things but I havnt seen to many dogs under 24tts takeing most quarry and i don't think it's because they carnt I think it's because people prefer taller dogs.

 

One of the best dogs I have witnessed was a 23 inch bitch she took everything the lad who owned her put a load of gear in front of her and she never upset.

 

 

So what I'm asking is have you owned or whitnessed these shorter dogs on if so any pics or story's to share

Never seen it myself but wouldn't right it off I suppose it would be a bit harder on a small dog this bitch I have now is only 22" the smallest I have ever owned very keen little bitch

Seen plenty of small dogs taking most game over the years as they small dogs with big hearts

I think a good dog is good regardless of size,for it to be an all rounder you need to get it out and do as much differing work as possible ,

If it can catch most things and you are happy great ,

true roy as they say its not the size of the dog in a fight, its the size of the fight in the dog seen some good 22-23 in dogs tackle most stuff, but suppose if you can get a good big dog, they take some beating , but its getting them there shit in all sizes of lurchers

I've a bitch here that's 24" at most and she's doing her job better than most bigger lurchers i've seen attempt it,strength don't allways come in "big" .

The best all rounders were all around 23-24 inches and I've seen a number of good ones above this but not many below these sizes

[jcm 2,327]

Like I said most prefer taller dogs which I understand but surely these smaller dogs are out there doing the business any pics of smaller dogs that could turn to most tasks
