PROBLEM

Dont worry about your dog it has the inclination to chase and catch a fox ,it has had its first bite now which will make a big difference to its approach.

I had a collie saluki greyhound bitch once which in its first running season done only rabbit and hare at the end of the season my beddlington flushed a fox out on to a field for her out of a small copse,she flew after it, grabbed it by the throat and like a rabbit went to retrieve it alive,because of the weight a big dog fox she struggled loosed go to get a better grip and old charlie latched straight on to her muzzle,blood every where and in severe pain the fox loosed go,and run into a dense woodland,with the beddie then in hot pursuit,after the summer lay of ,she encountered her second on the lamp,running behind him she flicked his back legs like a footballer tripping a winger and then latched on to his neck like a pair of molegrips she shook him so bad I thought his head was was going to come off,that was one of many lamped drawn daylight you name she loved it

Personally I like to see my dog keep shaking long after old red has stopped breathing, but Foxdog, your dog is only 18 months old and fairly inexperienced, one lesson in life I have learned is never give up on a dog too early!!! Give it time, if it's made of the right stuff, the more it catches (especially the fully grown ones) the better it will get and more crazy about them it will get or it will just jack!!! At least you know either way!! With regular work it shouldn't take long for the penny to drop, give it time mate

 

All the best with the dog, I hope he works out for you!
