charliehunter100 22 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 With some of the shit bred today then im not at all surprised they cant catch fox regular but they right type of bulls are hard to find over here you need to import the best to get the best Quote Link to post
sounder 9 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 if lucky you can get some racey enough 1st crosses but most are too heavy.lamping foxes is my main thing and a dog has to have speed and be well able to turn.a lot of lads dont realise how fast a fox can run and turn Derek you are absolutely correct, and in our small rough fields, a fox can be gone in a second, leaving a slow dog bewildered. I think in Ireland for sure, the fast lightly built dogs, with a quick kill, are the best. cúagusgiorraà your right bull x here have to be like a rocket to catch them here we a lucky enought to still practice lurcher on fox, we run 2 two bull x that can catch them but no dog will catch every one they run no fun if they did, big set or racey theres no dog or breed is going to catch them all if they did no man where shoot foxes sounder Quote Link to post
SHanded. . 110 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Your right what your sayin sounder no dog does catch them all. But I have a dog here Troy who has got an exceptional catch rate on Charlie normally a turn on a fox results in a kill. He was 18months old when I ran him in the lampin comp the dog has just turned 3. A couple lads in the comp witnessed this dog catch an dispatch a fox at 18monthd old an He been doin since he was 13months old. Again a few on here have seen him workin. Now he's not a half x although he has got bull blood in him it's less than a quarter but the dog also has wheaten in him. The half xs I have seen would only catch the odd fox there is lads on here claiming to have half xs bangin them over night after night Singlehaded I personally would like to see this... All the best.. SHanded... Quote Link to post
carruthers 7 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 a fox that wants to move can move seriously fast and turn faster,heavy set dogs no matter how game wont catch nearly the amount of foxes day or night that a racier game dog can.a lot of people especially those that do more talking than catching think that all foxes are simple to catch,they are not,a fast dog is needed especially on shy ones. thats a good point mate Quote Link to post
Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 seems like a 3qtr grey the way forward as my 1st cross just looses them once they start turning his not a unfit dog neither,so the only answer is to pair up with a another dog shouldnt get away then as they turn the fox for 1 another,altough mine will catch them but if you want them evry slip u cant expect a 1st x in my eyes to be nailing them on piece and theres nothing worse than seeing the coming back after a slip empty handing! You might be surprised when the 3/4 greyhound loses them at the turn too. Your dog might be doing a better job than you think partner. Quote Link to post
