Throw Back Thursday
Mountain Girl, now almost 13.5 years
The late, great Sailor, the dog against which all others are measured.
The late great Trooper. A gentleman dog who worked hard.
My dogs measure out bigger than any of yours except Trooper. One is 11" but 15 pounds- he's like a little Pit with muscles. He's definitely a hole dog- he loves hollowed out trees and culverts- scary how enthusiastically he'll just disappear. My other even bigger at 14" and 18 pounds but he's a great rat and squirrel hunter- he stalks and strikes quickly. Anyway- the pic of you holding Mountain Girl made me think she was the same size as my little guy. They're definitely too big for Back East terriorizing...

How tall is Mountain girl? How much does she weigh?
Mountain Girl is 12" and 12 pounds. She's as big a dog as I want for my area.
Sailor was 11 inches and 10 pounds.
Moxie is 10.75 inches and abut 9.4 pounds.
Misto is 10 inches and 12 pounds (he's a much heavier boned dog).
Trooper was 15 inches, and with a 19 inch chest. I forget what his weight was. Too big a dog, as so many borders are these days.
