ratattack 111 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 My old headkeepers wife had one, we kept it in a kennel in the yard. By christ didn't it stink though, even after the vet snipped the scent glands :sick: Was a great lil vixen though. It absolutely loved the keepers wife and wasn't sure of other folk but would just sit and look at you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I hope to rear one one day when i get time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Earth!" 503 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 One of the best terrierman if not the best in yorkshire reared a vixen cub that lived to a great age thats wat made him superior to the macho dog men And another well known done it with a badger cub.i remember seeing it and reading about it in a working terrier book Quote Link to post Share on other sites
"Earth!" 503 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 leave them in the wild where they belong 100% agree with you mate shame theres some sad c**ts like to go digging this time of season killing vixens feeding cubs everything deserves a rest % of the ground i work the terriers on are commercial shoots.each shot birds is priced at £35-£40.needless to say there is no place for a vixen with hungry mouths to feed.not a nice job to carry out but id sooner dig to them and humanely dispatch rather than other methods still being used although illegal- gassing,poisoning etc..

mwncidur 0 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 My Dad had one in the 60's, on the outskirts of Liverpool where his parents were living at the time. He said it made a great little pet, but stunk to high heaven Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scent 509 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 leave them in the wild where they belong 100% agree with you mate shame theres some sad c**ts like to go digging this time of season killing vixens feeding cubs everything deserves a rest If you can only dig legally for the protection of game birds and as gamebirds are about to start their nesting season why would any one stop digging on a shoot at this time of year it is imperative to get as many litters of cubs killed as possible I guess some sad c**ts see digging as a sport and don't rely on digging as being part of their job I guess some sad c**ts see digging as a sport ...................bit of a bold statement dont you think .I dont dig to protect birds as i dont dig on commercial shoots ,that means i dig for sport Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danw 1,748 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I guess some sad c**ts see digging as a sport ...................bit of a bold statement dont you think .I dont dig to protect birds as i dont dig on commercial shoots ,that means i dig for sport Just as bold as the statement I replied to mate, my point was that it serves no good calling people c**ts for digging at this time of year when there is good reason to.
