Blaze 49 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 never been into foxing ...but if your running a dog on any quarry it should be able to do it single handed .....mono on mono........doubling up is for girls... ....and not very good dogs..... What is mono on mono?....and its ok to double up if your female? mono on mono = one on one... ...and its ok to double on your females... maybe i shouldnt of commented on this thread with me not being a foxing man....but i would of thought if you were a foxing man you would like to have a dog that can do it on its own ,,,,,not doubled up....surley a dog that can do it on its own is twice as good as a dog that needs help in doing the job...just my opinion,,,,, And a very good opinion at that!

What is mono on mono?....and its ok to double up if your female? so how do you bring a lucher up pups on foxes if that is the person.s quarry then ? i didnt know we were talking pups...not sure about foxes like i said ...but with a hare dog once or twice doubled is enough ...some dont even bother at all ....i have a dog that has never really seen a fox ...but he came across one not to long ago ....and did the job on his own ....of course that dosnt meen hes a fox dog...but its in the blood ..the breeding .,,they no the score when they meet one ,,,,...they will either do it or they wont ....that simple.....i suppose some dogs might need one or two to get the hang off things ...but like i say not ot big on foxing ....but i will put it like this .....one doing it on its own is better then needing two..... surley that is obvious.....

lucky 578 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 single or doubled is probably down to preference in some cases, but i bet it's the only way of ensuring a kill in a lot of cases.... i hate to see dogs getting doubled up myself, especially bull crosses, talk about overkill... doubled up dogs will last for ever unlike most single handed dogs but they never learn the knack if there not single handed, i've seen hundreds of heavily marked bull crosses struggle to kill a scratty fox on there own, but they would look like dynamite with another dog.... for some its a numbers game, but i prefer to see what a dog is really made of....

stormrider8 59 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 surely a fox dog just keeps killing? No limits. Why would it only do 1 or even 4. Once they do the job they do it!! SIMPLE erm not quite matey dogs dogs are animals not machines its horses for courses think of it this way one mans little bolting terrier is his right arm yet his mate down the road wouldnt give a carrot for it. all in the eye of the beholder as many reading this will be thinking well my dogs has got to be the best he is awesome!! well the truth is it probably isnt but yet its a fact no one man can judge and as lucky very rightly put a dog is only as good as its last fox Oh right, think i might of misread it. Your talking about kills in one night. Thought you were talking about dogs that take them in general. My mistake Quote Link to post
tod 3 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 there is fox dogs and there is fox dogs. aslong a you are happy with your dogs and they do all the work you give them thats all that matters.some people just have higher standards and do a lot more foxing than others(pre ban of course).

bradder2k8 7 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 What i would like to know is how many do these amazing fox dogs miss please it's the same as the other lurchers they catch a few and miss a few no matter how fast the dog is it will always miss a fox Quote Link to post
undisputed 1,664 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 if there killing foxes there killing foxes theres nothing else to it no thats not right. they should kill quick and preferably by targeting the chest, they should do this regardless of where the fox has hold of them a dog that goes for the throat and kills by suffocation is inferior in my opinion. Jeeeez I cant believe that statement a dog that kills by suffocation is inferior....what planet do you live on. So how does your dog kill then..wait dont tell me It'll either be the ol grab em by the neck quick shake and bobs yer uncle!...or does it go all tazmanian devil on the foxes ass......A dog that has its prey by the throat will not take damage but I spose that dont matter to you now does it. There's deff a lot of pish being spouted in here...Stay on the medication mate. Quote Link to post
marky r 25 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 iv got a bitch that will take foxes doubled up to me she aint a fox dog and i dint buy her for that but she looks keen as hell doubled up but i wouldnt fancy running her on a dog fox in january shed need the vets. im waiting on a pup and if this dog dont do erm single then it wont stay i like to see a dog take them on there own if a bull cross or wheaton x carnt then to me it hasnt got the minerals and it wouldnt be for me.

scent 509 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 i prefer a dog that gets a throat hold as he will take less damage and less damage means more work for him.Iv seen lurchers grab a fox by the chest and hammer em off the ground but they take a bit of stick in the process .My own lurcher always takes a throat hold which suits me as iv only ine lurcher at the moment so he doesnt get broke up very often Quote Link to post
