Foxhound

[LGRCOMMS 1]

Hi I have a 4 month old fox hound and was wondering has anyone used these as gun dogs or seen them in the field other than in a pack , I do a bit of rough shooting and was thinking of training or having him trained to be a gun dog. But am I wasting my time ? Or would he be suitable

 

Any info would be appreciated thanks

Yes you are & no he's not, did you really think he was?? Omg !!

 

Wtf did you get it for?? It's f*****g beyond me....

 

Idiot and clearly a grade A one, it's like asking if you can use a bucket of water to start a fire

Hahaha your telling me you expected a detailed answer to such a stupid question.. Iv a Labrador here you can train to hunt foxes like a foxhound if you want, who ever sold or gave you a foxhound needs there head examined, un believable..

Hope you decide to take my advice mate, its offered with best intentions and after years of experience myself with walking hound pups and whipping in. TAKE IT BACK....PLEASE

It was a simple question which required a simple answer. A grade a idiot I am not,

 

I have a cocker which I know is ideal as he does he's job spot on. Thanks for the sensible reply deck

Bootsha I have over 100 acres I let him roam. The place he came from was not fit any animal pretty much if I didn't take him he wouldn't have lived this long

all credit to you then for giving him a chance mate, but, you will have your work cut out, if you succeed, i'll eat my words gladly, but dont be over optimistic.

 

I wish you all the very best with your project.

 

Keep us posted

your gonna have a fair few problems even if you keep it as a pet, get a gps collar if he is free roaming it wont be long before he is picking scent and away he goes and if he has alot of drive he could go for miles, good luck you will need it
