Too big most of the time will be spent digging.

Shouldnt breed over 13”  the old terrier man used to say.

Easier with a smaller dog that can get round the earth.

Not really I seen big dogs push on hard. And little dogs bugger about digging when they can easily push on

Big dog pushing in tight could cut off the air supply.

I know that. But when there trying to get through roots I have seen big dogs push through and little dogs digging and biting roots when they can easily get through
