you dont need a big dog to do them as long as the dog has got heart it will do them. my mate had a blue dog 20inch seen it do 4 and 5 in a night but it did take some stick. then got a big dog called stripes and that didnt do them as well.

I dont disagree with you much but I do know that heart and will are great but if they aint got the tools, they just dont have the tools. A 20 inch dog may do fox over where yall are at on the lamp but over here daytime, a fox would just laugh at a 20 inch dog tryin to catch it let alone kill it. 4 or 5 in a lifetime would most likely be out the question let alone 4 or 5 a day and I also dont think size plays much part in how much stick a dog takes. A throat dog is a throat dog no matter the size or breed and if they aint throat dogs then they aint proper huntin dogs. Dont get me wrong, I have owned and do own dogs that aint straight throat dogs but either way it aint right.

This aint got much to do with the topic but partner, this little pup was built alot like that dog. She were gonna be twicer he size at full growth but your gyp there reminded me of her and I sure do miss this pup. She died very young learnin the ropes but I did get to see her take a coon at just a bit over 6 months old. I about shit myself. HAHA!

alright all.

i was having a think and heard of small dogs taking fox pre ban but could they do it on a regular basis,and what size would you consider to take foxes often.or is size a issue after all or do u think they take to much punishment after a while doing it.atb suffolkpoacher,

have anyone had small dogs which TOOK them regular?

you cant measure a dogs ability to take foxes in inches to the shoulder.its all about breeding and heart,i've seen lots of big tall dogs jack foxes.still though a small size wheaten or bull bred lurcher can often be caught for speed even though it has no fear of game.

This dog was good on fox, he was colliexgrey 26in 70lb. He didnt tackle the 1st 4 foxes, he let them go .Then one night he got one and shook the shit out of it. Then from that day he killed alot of foxes,he would knock them down

, then right on the throat . even if he took some stick, he liked them more than rabbits, he was a fecker for them+cats get the right colliexgrey and they are spot on for fox job

How are they bred Dan? They look like a few dogs I see round the traps out here

[Dan Edwards 1,134]

Just staghounds stabs. I have no idea other than that. I assume alot of greyhound a little deerhound here or there years and years ago and maybe even some bulldog but an extremely small portion I would say. Just best to best partner.

[Dan Edwards 1,134]

said it before an ill say it again

 

that dog is a very nice type bird

 

I agree, everytime sombody asks what a fox dog should look like, I think of that dog.
