Birchdown 38 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 He's only had a handfull of easy digs last season but should see a bit more action in the coming months. He needs to settle down a bit as he's a tad too hard for his own good. 3 Quote Link to post
fordson 33 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 birchdown what weight is that dog in the picture,these oxcroft borders all look very frail to me and not strong enough to hold there own ,on the digs you had with him had he killed the fox when you got to him. Quote Link to post

The Breeder 156 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) birchdown what weight is that dog in the picture,these oxcroft borders all look very frail to me and not strong enough to hold there own ,on the digs you had with him had he killed the fox when you got to him. I have a 4 year old bitch here only 12 to 13 pound in weight hard on her foxs but she has not killed one .Her litter sister I lost two year ago to ground she did kill a few all depends were the fox is in the earth ?

Mooching Celt 659 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 So we have found out other people have this Riley dog in their dog's blood but..............was he a worker or a shirker? As for killing their quarry..........if they can get the right hold most dogs are capable of ending it It's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog Quote Link to post
