If i was just getting one for the red lad pre ban,i would opt for a 3/4 bred animal,,with foxy you must put him under pressure fast, if he gets a head of steam up your dog is going to run out of field space and your fox will be gone All the gameness in the world wont catch him if your dog dont have the legs,,,
cheers lads,shes a fine bitch,the leggy first cross would be the job for it,but i think you would catch amore with the three quater,especially when hunting covers in the day,maybe longer working life when its in its later years being racier. but the greater risk of long term injury
