Working fox?

[tearem 31]

Doesn't any of you keep cats along with your terriers? I do.

Most (not all) terriers accept the cats, after being raised together, but while hunting they hunt strange cats, including wildcats, as happily as any other quarry.

And I'd love to have a tame brock someday, but can't: it is not allowed here. I had several foxes in the past and an Enok (raccoon dog) which we caught in the wild and I more or less tamed.

Why couldn't you train a hand raised brock to bolt foxes? I don't know how it is with you over there but here, the foxes are scared of mr. B and in mixed earths, sometimes I use the brock's presence to make the fox bolt quicker if he has too much space inside.

As to fox bolting fox: try and get yourself the biggest male cub in the litter, feed him firmly so he gets bigger and stronger than the wild foxes, and then proceed him through the terrier thing: first rat then maybe a polecat and then small foxes to give him a few wins....who knows...(hahahaaha)

But it's a fact: we used to have terrier trials in artificial earths on the continent (and still have in France) with full contact. Some of the foxes being used for this for years, being fed well and having grown big, and doing this job often, become quite cunning at throwing even experienced terriers out of the house. Or at least Russell type terriers which don't mix it all too often. With the German terriers it's a different story mostly because the latter are not such yappers but more like no nonsense.
