13 or under no question w/me. Here in the south I never understood why ppl ran the big ones.To each his own Ive seen some fine ones go but not 1 I would own for any reason.LIke the fella above said a small one that can hang with the big ones is great to watch.
Plus,eat more,s#it more,take up more space in dog box/kennel they just aint for me.
God made dogs....Then he made BEAGLES!

I just was wondering if the small ones pushed a rabbit a little slower or if there was any difference.

All of the above. Give me a good rabbit dog and I don't care much about the size.
