Hatred of Fox.

[Malt 379]

I don't think any type of dog really 'hates' foxes?

 

Maybe they don't 'hate' in the same way we do in an emotional sense but most canines do have an natural inbuilt intolerance for smaller canine species and will chase them away when encountered..

Good point Mal. Just after watching the dogs, it seems more like they are absolutly loving it, hyper and happy as feck, rather than angry. They seem to really relish tackling big stuff, more so than bunnys? And stuff that bites back, you see them track tree rats and its always with a certain fury.

Yes rabbits and hares are seen as prey by the dog. But a dog which genuinely hates foxes or cats acts completely differently.

It's a bit like an agressive dog straining and itching to get at another dog.

Not at all lad,i've a bitch here who at 15 months i ran out the lamp on her own on the first fox she really ever saw.She caught and killed him,no messin.This bitch is now nearly 3,is 100% single handed and has never shown a bad moment to any other dog.You are talking shite like most of the clowns that are active on this website.All the best.

Seen dogs that are very aggressive towards others dogs but up against fox have spat them out and watch them run away.Seen the quietest off dogs go out there way to kill fox.Its simple as this some dogs will and some dogs wont that goes for all breeds.

I think you need to go back and read my post a little more carefully and consider editing your own post.

 

At no point did I say that dogs which dispaly antipathy toward foxes also display dog aggression.

I think he means dogs act different towards foxes than other stuff that don't bite back.

 

my lurchers like that,I think it's because he wants to kill them but knows he hasn't got the bollocks for it.

I wouldn't allow my bitch to mix it with a fox even it it was legal. It would be a long protracted affair. Cruel on both the dog and the fox.

sensible post

yes true, its is strange because couple dogs kick off and mean it, and say about the same size say about 60-70 lb, and get stuck in. Where as they dont want fight+ kill a little 18lb fox strange animals are dogs .?

most dog fights are rarely to the death, more a show of status where as with a fox it would have been about the kill not status. if the dog had the metal that is

I'm not sure its the bite back tbh, wolves kill foxes don't they as they see them as competition? Perhaps its something along those lines?

My dog got bit by a rabbit but he doesn't hate them

maybe its terrortorial, goshawks will kill sparrowhawks and owls with relish, i know for a fact that fox scent does things to dogs that no other scent seems to be able to do, if my dogs are running a scent i can tell from their actions as to what there scenting
