I can state that Merle was never a fox dog as I know he was supplied with well over 50 foxes live and that dog never killed a one, but I had a lot of collie crosses bred down off him that would face anything so it shows you how fickle breeding can be,WM
snap,i had a bitch by him that was an excellent foxing bitch,worked with the terriers and would hunt up and run them in, also would cold mark them,she would also take them on the lamp.its a lot to do with the opportunities you give them and entering them in general.
