We hear it a lot on here and I’m sure there are lads at it. But how many folk on here either have or do, catch 3-4 foxes a night, 3-4 nights a week through the season. With same dog /s. That’s 40-50 foxes a month, so September - feb would be 240-300 foxes a season with same dog / s. Can anyone honestly say they have owned it known a dog that’s caught 200-300 Charlie a season and how many seasons did it do? Because a dog with a four year working life like that would be doing 1000 foxes. Just asking ........ Well when put like that with the numbers put there even if someone came forward and said there dog will I'd have to see it to believe it and I dont think those numbers around in the countryside maybe in the urban situation but I know round my way if I took that amount a season then I wouldn't see another one close to home!!

Dont get me wrong there not going to kill a fox like like my big dog could , but i wouldn't expect them to , a dog got to want to kill foxes , and dont mind getting bitten , not all want it , big or small . 2 Quote Link to post
