dogs, single or doubled on foxes

[dogman89 0]

surely one dog can dispose of a fox quicker than two because one dog can get a good shake and kill the fox quickly, where as two dogs are just going to play tug-of-war with a live fox as neither of them can get a good shake at it. imo

I always started doubled up before moving on to single handed anybody who say's theyv'e never doubled up is not being truthful imo

sorry to disappoint you mate but ive never doubled up,thats the truth

 

Sorry mate its not that I doubt you.....well actually it is! unless you've never brought on a pup and just use adult dogs entered by someone else before you got it, how do you enter a young dog to old charlie then?

if it's struggling to finish it off then big boots and a knife could come in handy! if it ever came to that mate i would give up totally

 

He's on about a dogs first time and if it could be of been entered single handed? (as stated some people didn't have a choice) I merely stated that if a dog struggled (through lack of experience or just a mouth full of arse) with it's first fox then a helping hand might be required (usually supplied in the form of a more experienced dog). Personally I'd rather of wet a knife than have a dog badly cut up or Mr Red get away. JMO

i take the young uns out wi the adults but just to learn then its up to the owner to decide when his dogs ready for charlie like i said mate ive never doubled up, never needed to, maybe im just lucky eh

my other thread raised some very intresting opinions on a fox dog

 

 

so here goes doubled up dogs seems like they not fox dogs athall afterhall opinions please

 

has i said i did run double pre ban and seen some good dogs

 

imoa a dog that pulls and kills its fox, every lamping trip, is a fox dog weather its single or doubled

 

but thats my opinion

 

 

the ones that just run the fox round the field are to me jackers they dont want it for any reason,then it would be outed after its chances

 

 

i know alot of you will sayu run single,but please be honest

 

 

if you run double would you call your own a proven fox dog

 

GOT TO BE SINGLE HANDED ALL THE WAY MATE LIKE YOU SAY IT CANT BE CLASSED AS DO IN UM UN LESS IT S DONE ON IT S OWN

Sorry if I'm being stupid here but when you say you take the young dogs out with the adults are they watching or taking part?....yeah maybe you are just lucky

same here mate let them see it first ,double them up as a young un and let them go single when there a bit more experinced,but as an adult dog SINGLE OR NOT AT ALL.

what did the first lurcher do, how did it no to catch a fox? it didnt have an older dog to show it what to do? not every dog needs another dog to show it what to do. im sure the majority of lurchers would tackle a fox with out an older dog to assist it. you just need to let the dog mature and not enter it to early. imo

single but doubled up as a pup on a few ... i think it helps the young dog come on a bit faster & a lot more confidence ...........just my opinion

[lampingmad 4]

a dog that does its job every chance it gets simple

 

you can argue the toss all night if you dont no what one is you aint got one !!!
