Foxes - Single handed and pairs (Pre Ban)

[Butler 396]

A fox would be despatched quicker by a single dog as it becomes a tug of war when doubled up ...imo if you gave a deer a hare and a fox 100yard law charlie would be the easiest caught ....but thats if the dog wants to catch it

 

That is always the question mate, most dogs that put more than a handful of bends into one with out pulling it don't really want it.

ive done both i do like to see a good single handed dog and if my dogs( preban ) couldnt do a fox sigle haned i wouldnt keep then doubling up is good for bringing a dog on in my eyes but after theyve had a good few nights doubling up them should be tried solo

[artic 595]

I knew of dogs that would take foxes single handed/paired up and kill each time.

 

Now these are not dogs that were killing foxes every night, but were dogs that if a fox was put up in front of them would make the kill without no doubt.

my beddy cross would and go again the night after i only put him single handed dont see the point in sliping two dogs like all these videos show you just show the dog cant cope with one on it own

 

seen this dog and second what he says,, pure grafter!

preban doubling up was only good for numbers you cant beat a dog thats single handed and good at his job

thats a bold stament to make, like saying if the dog puts more than 15 bends in a hare it dont want it

No imo a fox was easily caught they were not the fastest quarry ....and a hare doesnt bite back ....ive seen plenty of dogs spin a fox but they dont want to catch it as they dont like getting bit.....my point is if foxes didnt bite back they would be not much of a match for even an average lurcher

i wasnt aiming that post at you it was at butlers post... obviously i no a hare dont bite back that had nothing to do with what i was saying, he said if a dog puts more than a handfull of bend into a fox without taking it, it dont want it.. ive seen dogs doubled up put more than a handfull of bends in a fox and both dogs would take them on there own.. every fox run is different some dont even get a bend and some bend the dog all over and get away.

not this old chestnut again macky,have you got an inferiority complex about single handed dogs ive never doubled up,ever,slipping two 70lb lurchers on one 20lb fox and as for numbers,why double up,i go out with my mate and one dog each and when were lamping we just take turns,1st fox mine,2nd fox his,3rd mine and so on, and are the dogs fit to go out the following night...of course they are,a good lurcher takes very little time and punishment in dispatching old charlie,if your dogs taking plenty of stick when dealing wi charlie then maybe you should try rabbiting

If you re read what i posted i said most dogs, and yes all runs were different but some dogs just seem to always get a gruler Same as some dogs needed to be right over the top of charlie out in the middle of a field these dogs didn't seem to catch many just on cover or even in it i wonder why?
