dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 i had a non ped years ago 32lb of fire and muscle took lots of rabbits and single handed daytime hares (pre ban mods) would bite me at the racing yet she played with our next door nieghbours pet rabbit as gentle as a lamb, my question for original poster would his dogs have recognised the scent of these 'pet' foxes when out hunting ? Im sure there could be accidents if the pet version was found in among the wild Quote Link to post
South hams hunter 8,924 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Would it be similar to stock broken dogs that still took deer as from what I've read they smell completely different. Mate has a Lurcher bitch tht would kill ever cat she could if not leaded but will eat with his own cats Yeah, I dont have cats myself, hate the damn things... but i have a few mates with cats, and their dogs live fine with them, yet will kill any feral they meet no questions, thats lurchers as well as terriers! Hows it so hard for some to believe? I think it may be because stock breaking has become a thing of the past for most people Quote Link to post

rob190364 2,594 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 IMO anyone who's had a dog and a cat at the same time would be able to get there head around this quite easily, whenever I've had a dog and cat at the same time the dog would sleep next to the cat and if it saw another cat in the garden would go nuts. The thing I can't get my head around though is that comment about someone hunting feral dogs with lurchers and yet the lurchers weren't dog aggressive....that doesn't make sense to me at all. Mainly because how on earth would the lurcher know whether or not a dog was feral when it saw one out and about? You say you raised foxes with the terriers and they were fine...fair enough, but if your terriers came across those very same foxes in an earth it'd be game over, right? Quote Link to post

I raised and released them to hopefully meet up with them again lol the area I was in (12 years ago) had few foxes. I would think that once out of the home/farm environment for some time they would be viewed like any other fox, couldnt say 100% if I ever did meet them again, should have tatooed them!

No I don't doubt it with goats, I was on about foxes. Quote Link to post
dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Got ya Rob... all I can say is, the fox's n dogs got on fine while they were being raised.... after release, they would have got killed like any other wild fox I'd guess. While I had them, they didnt smell much at all, and often copied the dogs behaviour... twats around food though lol Quote Link to post
