vixens carrying cubs

[events co-ordinator 353]

Wilbur is right they also give a different scent after they've cubbed some terriers won't work vixens with cubs .

never herd that before dug one last week which was carrying cubs it was also hunted for a long time with a pack of hounds and marked to ground it made no difference to terrier or hounds.have dug a few more over the years which were carrying cubs.i rember i dug one 3 years ago st. patricks day which was heavy in cub and the dog had to dig on a long way throw tight tubes before reaching the vixen .

at end of the day any good working terrier should know if anythings home no matter if the scent is different or not

as i hunt a handy pack of beagles i know first hand how scent does change and sometimes appear to have disappeared! but im not so sure if this is down to the fox's ability to change its smell or simply just weather conditions, id be strongly going with the latter tho! any terrier here will enter and work any fox vixen or dog the exact same all times of year, have dug plenty of heavily preg vixens and they would be stink.... just my experience of it.
