DOGGINLAD 538 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 It all depends on the dog running, the size of the field, and if i am in a hedge and a fox was coming across a big field i wouldnt want it in too close as they can double back and straight in the hedge your stood at, thats all before the ban by the way... 1 Quote Link to post

Best craic there is lamping foxes what dog have ye got? Ya got a cub last Friday, called it to 20 ft no bother. I want to get rid of a lot of foxes for a man who's starting lambing outside this year; that's why I got the dog. He's 1/4 pit 3/4 grey, serious lad but very unfit. Quote Link to post
