Yes, ...Your comment was posted in the wrong place.<br /><br />Yes, Eddie (or Eddie's wife, it should be said) breeds large KC registered dogs for profit -- he started that AFTER he quit digging. But can you span those dogs? No, and here's why: a terrier that is 14" tall has a 16" chest or better. Shape and flexibility is interesting, but far less important than actual SIZE of the chest, and you cannot get a small chest on a big dog and have it actually have any bone or stamina -- it will end up looking like an Italian Greyhound. Span a fox and you will find they max out at 14" spans and that's for a pretty big dog fox. Now, if you are digging on badger settes with a fox inside, you can go bigger, which I have noted. But, of course, if your dog can ONLY get into badger sette, you have limited use of that dog. Eddie says he has never spanned a fox with a chest larger than 14" and I have not either.PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-63756397499216170732012-01-24T09:38:04.605-05:002012-01-24T09:38:04.605-05:00Eddie also breeds 14'" KC registered dogs...Eddie also breeds 14'" KC registered dogs, and you can get a big dog with a small, correct chest. That's why it's so important that the chest is oval shaped and compressible, and the ribcage isn't too short.<br /><br />The big problem are barrel shaped or slab sided chests, that aren't compressible, those are the ones that are useless, even if they are tiny. And they are very hard to breed away from.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18252354392874637553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-81070518120164086192012-01-18T20:51:27.270-05:002012-01-18T20:51:27.270-05:00Ha!
