Lad you said in your thread about your lakeland dog ,that your father rears pheasents,so i reckon you should well know why foxes need controlling. digging them is one of the most productive and humane ways of control ,they have no natural predators in the wild so in order to keep their numbers down man has to intervene. look at the urban fox population ,9 out of 10 of them are mangey skinny specimens because they have no way of proper control on them. the reason most of us do it is control and also enjoy seen working animals doing what they where bred for(look up the meaning of the word terrier) some people enjoy using their dogs for fly ball or agility or simply just playing fetch in the park,we are no different, just into a different game Edited February 27, 2012 by lurcher330 1 Quote Link to post

Far from it lad ,give me a dig over a bolt any time,not only is the the terrier getting fulfillment but great exercise for your self,better than working out in a smelly sweaty gym,i would much rather the fresh air of the country side 3 Quote Link to post
