Springers for hunting foxes


Recommended Posts


Anyone use springers for hunting foxes out for lurchers? I use em and find em very good.Any opinions?

i have one and he hunts foxes ahright but he needs another good dog with him to help.i lost my best dog last year ,he was a pointer /whippet/bullx springer.i used to get a rake of foxes in the cover with them because they hunted as a team. the springer on his own is ahright but the other dog i had was way better,he was finding everything and the springer was only joining in,but hes still not bad but wouldnt touch my old dog. i reckon if you cross springers with terriers you get better dogs for foxes.

The springers i have now are finding foxes much faster than the beagles,i know what you mean though,some of em look busy but wont lead a hunt and find but will follow if you know what i mean.

the good thing about them is that if they do hunt they have fierce energy and theyed hunt all day for ya,but you wouldnt know what theyed be on ,theyre tails do be feathering away all the time.the fela i have now is ahrite,i tryed to breed him with a lakey bitch but he hurt his back and wouldnt serve her,maybe next time when shes in again

ma springer got its first tussle with a fox last week before pushing it out to the gun. the fox was sittin very tight in some brambles. it got a bite on the face but he managed to get it out infront of the gun. my family have had spaniels for years and most of them wouldnt touch a fox. was suprised the way my springer acted to this one
