I had a very racy,muscle looking collie,bull,grey,lightning it was,used to float over ground,and turn quicker than a meercat.came from great breeding.(allegedly).fookin thing,used to pull up on the lead when it come across a roadkill fox.totally useless.could catch one in seconds,but just bark at it.

Spaniel n labs may rag a half dead fox thats tried to make a break on a rough shoot and got peppered.thats about it tho.

Got told by a shooting lad once that foxes could be caught by a fat lab and dug with a cat. Lol. And he was being serious. Guess he had as much experience as a few on this thread. Lol.
