Charlie Catch Dog Or Dispatch Dog?

[Chris Parsons 2]

I Think there is two types of dog's for foxes. pre ban I used to have a dog that was only 21" and was by no means a a usual Fox dog. she wouldn't even go near one infill about two years old but she then became over the next few years a excellent catch dog, but once caught after 30 seconds would come off and let the other bigger dog finish. Not interested at all, would never rag a dead Fox either, anybody ever own a dog like that? I really found her quite usefully..... all pre ban

what happened if the other dog wasn't there though would it just let the fox go again?

PM southhams hunter I think he's called. He had a catch dog, a dispatch dog then a dog to do the dishes

She only had a few by herself.... would stay on it a bit longer but I would dispatch it myself

If you had time to help her she must of held on long enough. Foxes are not that easy to kill.....but wait a minute and you will get the little lurcher brigade on saying its all about "the knack".

Seems pointless a dog that can catch one but not smash it and a dog that can't catch it that dose breed the two together ? Wtf it's like having two dog on a hare one to do the running one for the damege I'd get laffed off the fens I seen a whippet salukie murder fox pre ban it not the breed its the nackers day in day out fox dog need to be fast enough plenty off power and hate the red feckers one of my salukies did them now bother but he dident have the tool for a full on fox dog sorry I don't get it

the dog caught it n held on to it. Great if you wanna let em run another day. Aint about the kill, its about the run.

depends on what you want out of the dog if you hunt as a allrounder ferreting,lamping,day time deer and it will pull a fox but isnt to keen to hang on to it, no big loss i could handle that.. but if its sole job was foxing and couldnt do the job solo then no it would have to go! ALL PRE BAN TALK I DONT WANT ANOTHER 3 DAY HOLIDAY

Yeah all pre ban.... Yeah she wasn't got for a Fox dog this is just how it turned out and worked for me, could run and catch them much better than any bull cross or larger dog so doubled up she done well. That lad few comments up saying it's completely pointless hasn't seen how well a team or big ang little dogs can work

Sorry nar I wouldn't run a dog on any thing it couldn't do how many bites that fox took to die under a hedge better dead than dieing in my book any animal my opinion

i seen it pal gedeges blue I could run one off my dogs and a pure staff think people making excuses for 2 half decent dogs to be honest

How f****n idiotic 1 dog for both only a moron wud want 1 dog for catch 1 dog for dispatch.

I get what the lad is saying to some extent. If lamping. . . . obviously a bit of a dumb idea! However, if you were out bushing and flushing in the day, and had a small, quick, nippy dog that often made the catch, had the knack of being in the right place at the right time etc, and could help put foxes in the bag that might have been missed. But could or would not dispatch on it's own. . . . . . would you leave it at home, or let it come out with the pack?

when I started I had a collie/grey x whippet/grey that would catch them easily, she could even catch them on the nose and then she would let them go and continuously bowl them over time and time again... she never killed one tho, I had to grow a set and do it myself... I got rid of her to f**k!!!

[Chris Parsons 2]

I'm not saying I got got two dogs for different purposes I got her for lamping rabbits and she ended up getting a half decent catch dog for me and asked if anybody had the same....... that's all lads
