Here in Norway the most popular terriers for going into the fox den is:

-Smooth Haired Fox Terrier

-German Hunting Terrier, usually to hard and tough....

-Border Terrier

-Parson Russel Terrier

 

Some hunters also use Dachs, both smooth and wire haired.

DOH!----------or is that DOUGH------------cheer up mate, only a bit of fun :thumbs::drink:

 

I have a border that loves to go to ground just bloody hard work diggin her out :wallbash: she did have one on top the other week middle of the day!! caught up with her and she had done the fox. It was dead by the time i got to her! 10 - 15 mins! She has also dispatched other large ish quarry but I wont go into that now!! She is a great bitch, Loyal - loveable and great with children - people and other dogs but heck could she work! I dont work her properly but I could if I wanted she's already proved that. Its what she was bred for and I love her for it and am very proud.

 

lakeland originally called Patterdale terriers are great dogs also, and often tend to be narrow which is an advantage!! It is said that back in 1800 and something! Lord Lonsdale had one that went 23 feet under rock after an otter! 3 days later and alot of blasting with dynamite they got it out non the worse for wear!! These dogs are hard as nails and never give up.

you have a border that caught a fox above ground and managed to kill it and you say she has killed bigger quarry, you've got a super terrier their as its hard enough to get a working border never mind one that can kill bigger stuff than a fox. :no:
