I always have a terrier loose, I said A terrier, the rest would still be on the couples and it's a great way of finding new earths but it's rare for one terrier to put enough pressure on a fox to put him in.

When a terrier does hit a line you'll usually see the fox trotting along in front of you and unless I've the lurcher with me he'll usually stay safe and stay on top.

Foxes found to ground were usually there in the first place.

Anyone using several terriers to put foxes to ground has not only got bad terriers but is also IMO cruel.

I must own different terriers Neil because its common for mine to push a fox below,on their own or accompanied,any fox that as the audacity to underestimate my mongrels often never reaches the dark embrace of sanctuary,even if it does it regrets it.Yours don,t mine do and ill guarantee i don,t hold the monopoly on such jukels.

Compare this post to your post to me Morton.

In my area foxes usually see a terrier once ,could it be that in your area they encounter and evade them regularly by going to ground ?

You're trying to tell me that either one or all of your Bedlingtons are fast enough to put foxes in.

Like I said, I'd have one terrier loose when hunting. Probably not as fast as a few Beddies.

Also, over the years ,I have seen Foxes do many miles in front of 16 or 17 couple of Foxhounds before popping in so IMO if I was you I wouldn't change a thing about using your Beddies to put Foxes to ground.

Neil all im saying is my mongrels often catch in cover,bolt from cover and regularly force to ground.Ive been on many an hunt with Foxhounds and seen the distances the fox trevails before its forced to enter,if i was the owner of a foxpack id source a couple of decent Beddy,s because they often get the job done faster and thats a flying fact that some may have issue with.Im not only saying they are fast enough to catch a vulpine on top,they catch more than their share,im stating they REGULARLY force them to ground by the attention they give them on top.Terrain is a dominant factor and ill guarantee the Beddy,s could not hold form on the Foxhounds regular haunts,it distinguishes itself well enough otherwise,no other terrier does.
