rocky1 942 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 i think its best 2 start all working dogs on rabbits ,bullx ,deerhound,collie all breed of lurcher should be brought on like this in my opion,bullx their prey varios and it also keeps them fit and its all well time spent in the field Quote Link to post

NOOK/ANNA 96 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I personally would never keep a dog just for fox. I think a dog has to be able to take a variety of quarry and rabbits make up the majority for me. Saying that some nights i would go out just for a fox or two and wouldn't run a rabbit. But i think a dog that is run at rabbits regularly will be more the sharper on the run and turn than a dog that is just run solely on foxes. Which can only increase your catch rate on charlie as he is not that easy to catch as is made out to be. 1 Quote Link to post

Not saying it wont catch, but i have found if you were after foxes you want the dog 100% ready. Ive done it my self years ago, and it does make a differnce. If you got one quarry in mind start on it, if not then just enjoy the dog having a good few runs+keeping fit Quote Link to post
ban is just a word 43 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 i only have foxing lurchers, bedlington/collie/greyhound x bedlington/greyhound and a saluki/whippet/collie/greyhound x deerhound/greyhound. dont get me wrong if im out and there is a rabbit for the taking then i dont let it go too waste but my intention is too go out and 'retrieve' foxes with my dogs Quote Link to post
taz2010 1,297 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 bulldog as you well know my bullcross is kept mainly for anything that bites back but start of season will run him on rabbits just to get him sharp theres rabbit men then theres fox men and i know which cat i fall under as you well know so when ya coming over so we can show ya how its done Quote Link to post
bullmastiff 615 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I always found the first run or two of a night the dogs are never as sharp as the next few, almost as if their just warming up? I'd of had a quiet night if I had only gone out for fox round here. You'd be lucky to get one good run a week. Even slipped on everything we saw, you would of still only got maybe 10 runs.

bulldog2 32 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 2 be onest i prefer foxes all night i dont mind chaseing rabbits if theres f**k all about but id rather have 1 fox then a hundred rabbits Quote Link to post
