Single-Handed Fox Killing Terriers

[cúagusgiorraí 57]

Hi lads,

I am no expert when it comes to terriers.

 

What breeds can quickly dispatch a fox, with no messing about or prolonged ordeal.

Does anyone here own a terrier like that or had one in the past?

 

What about Fells? JRs? Wheatons? Borders? lakelands? BullnTerriers? cross bred terriers?

 

Some terrier as game as hell that does the job well. It doesnt neccessarily have to be an earthdog.

Depends on your idea of quickness and a shit load of other factors, Lakey and Border/fell types are all hard as nails, even Russells will do the job,,depends on the dog I spose

Personally ,i've seen a great many fox killers to ground and from most recognised breeds too .Dont own one at the minute ,that is to say not a regular killer as in the true sense of the description .Owned a black type once that had it down to a tea ,shut many a farmer up i can tell you .We used him mainly on big bale stacks and undiggable rocky places .I saw him kill twice ,once in an old electric duct on a deserted RAF camp and again in some broken paving slabs .He was' nt particular about his first hold ,offering his shoulder to get under the throat but hes long dead .Once saw a tiny JRT that had mastered the art and drew the victim aswell .Seen some irrate huntsmen getting hot under the collar as a dead fox is drawn .Can be annoying when youve dug a good hole to be met with a dead fox and a wagging terrier but thats just my take on it .Its something that cant be taught and cant be broken ,they either do or they dont .

Just to add that most of the foxkillers ive seen arnt what i call hard terriers ,never fight their fox to a stand still,just masters at the first telling grip .

Edited to say that it dosnt take log for a terrier to kill a fox ,it just depends on whether or not they stay with a dead carcass to be dug to .Fastest time i know of from entry to dead fox and out is 5 1/2 minutes

have a look at dashmans they do [all day]

I would never had expected a JR to do that. Most I have seen were just bayers.

Any pictures of these terriers?

georgia, cracking bitch (i think) And yes, that dog would and did keg, it is actually very unsporting on foxes, but it gets the job done no contest!!

 

Cut out for other stuff maybee? I was born 30 years too late

my patterdale will bay below ground but twice he has cornered a fox in the garden and killed 1 of them out right.

trouble is he also tends to take cats apart if they venture in.

Nobody can say that there dogs will kill a fox every time of course there are some occasions when a terrier gets a good hold and chokes a fox or when a fox is squeazed up tight and cant get turned and a terrier will eat the back out of it and this more often than not will kill a fox but if you get a big dog fox sitting up on a ledge eating the top muzzle of a dog he will 9 times out of ten sit back a bit a mark well a smart one would anyway.
