Entered my dog on his own at 2 yrs old but I knew he was ready for one . Wee pup I have now will probably get entered with the old dog but we'll see

What size was your dog chap?

its not alway the killing it the catching they need help on, not like catching a rabbit fox's now the score and aint an easy catch for a young dog with not that much experience imo

thats were the handlers experience comes in and were you pick your slips

[Guest joball]

Easy to say that not everyone can pic and choose runs, people like. myself take what they can get due to the lack of fox's.

[Guest joball]

Plus how can you tell which fox will be the easiest to catch you carnt!

I personally believe the best way to get youre dog going is to run it on large cubs to start with.The trouble with running two dogs is that most likely the experienced dog will grab the fox by the back end and that only leves the sharp end for the pup.The hardest part of entering to fox i found was the catching like joball says as some foxes can put up a real course for a dog.It may seem unsporting to run cubs but inexperienced quarry is the best quarry to start inexperinced dogs on atb matt

they will run as hard as there pushed , but they will tire quickly pushed hard, prefer fast dog for reynard work

When we talk single handed what is ment? Run catch kill, how many fox's a night must they run catch kill? Would the same dog do it night after? Not talking young dog hear talking a single hander...pre ban of course.

To me single handed means just that wether it be 1 fox or 5 .

[Guest joball]

Have you a dog of that calibar mate would it do 5 and same night after and keep doing it all season?

No

My point is a single handed dog means it will kill a fox on it's own it don't matter how many it will do one after another .
