It's worth pointing out that foxing with a terrier for the protection of livestock is very much illegal. You can only bolt/dig fox with a terrier to protect game birds.

 

Everyone should have this straight if ever the authorities turn up when you're on permission. If off permission then you are fecked no matter the reason.
