Stabs 3 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 All this talk of Wheaten crosses has had me flicking through some old pics and reminiscing about an old bitch of mine that was bred by Al Capone and given to me by a mate from South Wales. She had zero prey drive, and I mean zero. This was the first fox she ever saw I think....it was 2004 or 2005 and she wasn't in the slightest bit interested. This one was caught trying to get back through a fence next to the Eurostar link between Ashford and London. As you can see, she wasn't that big. The terrier was 16" and Meg would have been 20/21 max although she was bred in the purple. We dropped on another one that same day and again, she wasn't interested at all You can see her in this picture just having a sniff. She'd have been almost 12 months here I guess. She switched on to cats first as we had a lot of ferals hitting our ducks and then a nice fox introduced himself to her not long after this on the sides of a small, steep valley one evening and it was like Cannon & Ball switching the Blackpool illuminations on A lovely little bitch. My current charge reminds me a lot of her despite not being of the same breeding. Quote Link to post

Stabs 3 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I took her out the first day I got her back from Wales and we bolted a rabbit from a tree stump across a beck that was usually good for a bunny or two The bunny bolted, followed by the terrier and Meg (the Wheaten cross) chased for about 6 yards and then came trotting back wagging her tail. She came good though in the end though and turned into a real little opportunist Quote Link to post
