A sturdy, energetic terrier with a strong interest in company. Consider the time for supervised activity and training, not just the breed’s compact dimensions.
| Size | Medium |
|---|---|
| Adult weight context | 11–17 kg (PDSA typical range) |
| Height context | 36–41 cm |
| Exercise context | PDSA lists at least 1 hour daily for healthy adults, with additional play and training. |
Ranges describe the cited profile. They are not goal weights, growth charts or a veterinary exercise prescription. Age, line, sex, body condition and health can change the picture.
What to record before comparing food
A solid build does not tell you a calorie requirement. Keep portions measurable and make a written record of training rewards, chews and extras when you compare foods.
Keep a short record with the exact current food name, the amount served, any leftovers, and extras supplied by other members of the household. That gives you something concrete to compare against a new pack’s label.
Nutrition and life stage
Use the food label to identify the life stage and whether it is intended as the main complete diet. The breed name on a bag is not enough to establish suitability. A growing dog should not be treated as a smaller adult in a calculator.
Still growing?
Use the puppy guide to organise questions about growth labelling and adult size. Confirm maturity and feeding amounts with your veterinary team.

- Write down the exact products and pack sizes, rather than just brand names.
- Check both life-stage statements before comparing the price.
- Use each food’s own portion information. Equal gram portions need not supply equal calories.
- Use the same currency and record delivery charges separately.

Health concerns and screening
The source profile below includes breed-related health information. Use it to prepare questions about relevant screening and the individual dog’s history. Our clinical condition guides remain subject to veterinary review; this page does not diagnose disease or recommend a condition-specific food.

A dog with symptoms, a diagnosed condition, a suspected allergy or a prescribed diet needs individual veterinary advice before a food change. An average breed weight should never be used as an automatic weight-loss target.
