DottyDoo 500 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 reason i asked, is i know a guy that keeps some terriers, an he says it can..... i doubt it can be taught(but a wise man once told me, not to doubt what i dont know ), but he puts a young keen dog on the throat of the foxes it meets in its entering, an swears that if or when 1 of his terriers gets a chance, it will take a throat hold over any other.... an i know this guy has done his fair share, been at it a long time Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Surely you cannot 'teach' a dog how to kill one, but they will 'learn', thing is, i would have thought that MOST dogs will instinctively go for a throat hold IF the decide they want to kill a fox? Is it not natural instinct? Quote Link to post

fat man 4,741 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Some terriers have a knack for killing foxs,i owned a bitch a few year back that i never broke through to a live fox with,she could kill them in a matter of minutes and she was only a small thing,but extremely hard for her size,now she had a knack of doin it.I have 2 dogs at the minute that if given half a chance will kill fox below ground no prob but takes them a lot longer than the bitch.
