fox hunter

[pickaxe 23]

if you where to breed a dog to hunt fox as hounds have done but in pairs , would you stay with hounds or a cross , friend of mine has a fell hound cross lab which is pretty good and anther has a GWPx bull/grey think it only 3/8 bull.. catches a lot with this one good nose loves cover and can still run fast enough to put them to ground

I like the sound of the second hound type.A dog that puts charlie regularly to ground single handed be worth its weight in gold.I have see a few Bullx that hunt well even through cover,handy if they stay in the vicinity of the earth once it has sunk.Most of the foxes I used to hunt were urban foxes and would seek the refuge of an earth a lot more readily IMHO than their countryside relatives.

A mates Bedlington/Grey also a good hunter,marker and pusher of foxes to ground.She was just starting to nail them single handed as well.Shame the laws changed

Know a few chaps who like to run a pack of terriers and lurchers of all types and sizes,they catch a few on top and below.He says he is to old to change now(in not so many words )

A lot of the boys i know have lurchers for hunting the mountain. Some have a fair bit of hound in them but they will tell you that they are not the type of dogs you leave out for a quick walk before you go to work, they are gone!. But a friend of mine has a line of lurchers that has bull/bedlington/hound and a fair bit of greyhound in them. He uses them for hunting the mountain, rabbiting and lamping. The dog he has is very usefull at the end of a dig as well.

Have never seen(as far as I know) let alone owned a lurcher with a strong trace of hound in the make up.Sounds like just the type if you have a good deal of rough land to work.Any chance of a pic Sadie.

The dog i am on about is on this web page. www.irishfeildsports.com go on the terrier and lurcher section and you will see a white lurcher with a bloke kneeling down. there is a small dash of hound in it. you would think more by the pic.

Most types soon get the hang of running a fox or marking him to ground even the odd saluki.I believe you have seen that bitch put a few bunnies in the bag Jordan,the beddie x that is.

Kane i have seen tha bitch take rabbit, rat, hare you name it shes had it of course this was back when it was legal

This motley lot could send them to ground when it was legal

 

 

but the best ones for finding them were the red and white terriers with a bit of beagle in their blood

THIS DOG HAS RAN A FEW TO GROUND.SHE WILL HUNT A LINE AND MARK A FOX TO GROUND ASWELL.
