Alrite mate the camera is playin up but will have it sorted soon

As i said about my mates dog not hitting them on the lamp and mine being young and needing to be entered on the lamp, maybe if the two were run double handed it would get mine started and maybe get the other fella doin them on the lamp? Or should i just give my fella a go single handed?

 

 

id say give it a go , ive a whippet well i think there might be a 1/8 greyhound in him(7 year old) but anyway a great dog on the rabbits and rats but was never intersted in tackleing a fox would of run them in the lamp but only ran alongside of them and that was it, well ive a bullx nearly 13mnths old and have taken 4 or 5 foxes with him but the point being that the whippet is now getting in on the action he would never be able to kill a fox but he now will have a go once the bullx has a hold of the fox so if you run both dogs theyd mayabe bring each other on

 

Frankieyou say your 13mth old has taken 4-5 foxes. How did you enter him to fox and what age? if you don't mind me asking. as I have a 10 month old 3/8 bullx bitch.

if u are going to run double handed be very careful, sometimes u can do more harm than good, for instance one of the dogs could miss turn the quarry and run into the other dog, therfore causeing smashed bones and other serious injuries, the other problem you could come across is that the lighter of the two dogs could take hold of the fox and the fox take hold of it, then all of a sudden a 60lb plus bullcross takes hold of the fox, which is holding onto the other dog, this resulting in serious tear wounds to the facial area and mouth of the other lurcher.

if you take this advice which is the best i can give you, i have been in this game for a good many years, find a man who posses a dog that can kill a fox no problem, go lamping with him then slip the mans dog on the fox single handed once this dog has hold and is doing the bussiness walk up with the other dog and then release it, you will find after 4 or 5 times after doing this , the dog that is not so keen to take a fox on a lamp will find the balls to do so.

 

plz let me no what u think. LEE

that makes sense diggit a mate of mine doubled up on some large quarry..NOT A FOX....and the two dogs collided and one of them was killed instantly broken neck..the other dog had no injuries but was very lucky the trouble is finding someone who has a dog for that purpose .speaking for myself that is ....the lads i no do mainly rabbits and longears and the odd bambi..i would personally like to fetch my dog on when hes a bit older but not many lurcher lads that do that sort of thing round my way not that i would call exsperensed

anyway..

diggit is right! allthough imo, it needs to get bit! maybe third, fourth fox! in an ideal world! they can hurt, you got to make sure youre dog is mature in every way. theyve better teeth than my dentist!

We never really let our dogs near fox until around 18 months old.They may look developed but whats between their ears usually is'nt until at least that age. They will see other dogs killing fox at night but are held back on their slip. Enter them when their ready on their own.

the other problem you could come across is that the lighter of the two dogs could take hold of the fox and the fox take hold of it, then all of a sudden a 60lb plus bullcross takes hold of the fox, which is holding onto the other dog, this resulting in serious tear wounds to the facial area and mouth of the other lurcher.

this i have seen happen to a whippet bred lurcher of mine,he caught and was working his fox when a dog that wasn't being held as tight as i should hit in,tore a flap of skin off his face,dog was finished for the day but never done him any harm in the long run.gutsy little boy he was.

Thanks for the advice, Frank will you be letting your whippet near charlie? I no you didnt get a dog for this but the sire of my dog ( 23inch whippet) takes foxes although not a very quick job.

Too right mate, then we shall see does he have the balls or not!! The 3 my fella has killed hes got nothing but the slighest of a nip that didnt mark. All 3 were caught by the throat and shaken. hopefully its in him!

Frank will you be letting your whippet near charlie? I no you didnt get a dog for this

 

No, but her mother apparently killed foxes she came across single handed

I saw scars to proove it aswell and some photos, amazing dogs the whippet, thats why i got one.

 

Saying this, if my whippet comes across a fox in the future and dicides to takle it, their is not a lot i can do.

 

 

 

Your whippet sounds a big fella at 23''? Any pics of him, do you use him for ferreting aswell?

 

Thanks,

 

Frank.
