A needle placed carefully on water, however, can be supported by the surface tension-the liquid responds in a way similar to a stretched membrane. Try it at home-see what you can get to float on water. One way to think of surface tension is in terms of energy. The larger the surface, the more energy there is.
The Airedale is the largest of the British terriers. They weigh 20â30 kilograms (44â66 lb) in fit condition and have a height at the withers of 58â61 centimetres (23â24 in) for males, with females slightly smaller. The American Kennel Club standard specifies a very slightly smaller dog.
Your sharpull terrier will probably end up a similar height and weight to its Shar-Pei and pit bull parents, since both are approximately the same size. At maturity, the Shar-Pei stands between 18 to 20 inches tall at the shoulders, weighing between 45 to 60 pounds, according to the American Kennel Club standard. Males are larger than females.
