  3. Fox Dog

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Posted · Edited by sam4530s

    I think you know what makes a good fox dog worthy of the 'title'

     

    My opinion, for what its worth: The lurcher should be a proficient lamper, following the beam, looking for those eyes... running out on the beam even if quarry is unsighted trusting that there is quarry down the beam. I like a dog that will go beyond the beam on the brush of a fox into the dark, as many foxes are caught other side of hill or hedge for example, so a dog that turns back as soon as quarry leaves view of lamp is not much use to me.

     

    Hunt open hill and forest all day, finding fox using its nose, so for me nose is very important. Must jump well, and be sensible enough over rocks and crags not to cripple itself.

     

    Check holes and mark positively, be bombproof with terriers and livestock.

     

    Kill quickly and humanely with no fuss, and no turning away from teeth, ie straight in.

     

     

    I have been gifted a beddy cross about a month ago he is 5 yrs old, you have just described him down to a T !!! but he works just as well with the lights off lol he was bought up on foxes and gets a hard on when he see's one when im out with him , up wind of a fox and he can see them 300 yd away on the darkest of knights . cant let him off on our local fields as hes off and wont come back for hours ! thats one reason why i have him now .

    edited to say.... just incase its not clear, i do not hunt foxes with my dogs and i travel several miles to exersize them each day on my permision where its free from foxes.

     

    i'l bring him down one night jack and run him with you .

    Nothing new about lurchers getting a raw deal - but I really do think there's more idiots in the game now than ever before. Some of these pricks woulda never got into it if certain aspects of the game hadn't been outlawed - that's the attraction for them!!! And most of these kind wouldn't know a hawthorn from a blackbird or a sparrow from a bucket!!!! And won't think twice about discarding the dog once they've f****d its head or broke it down...you can see and hear them at any show the length and breadth of the country spouting more shit that a sewer in their traditional hunting garb of trakkis tucked into white socks and manky trainers with cammo jacket...attended 4 shows last year and each time it was new dogs for some of these guys...same socks tho!!!!!!!! :censored:

    this is true in my case , i was gifted a 5 year old beddy cross about 3 weeks ago now and every time i let him out of his run he is so pleased to see me and so excited , when i was walking him the other day my dads parson terrier had a jealous moment and had a pop @ him when i shouted @ the terrier my lurcher took off with his tail between his legs shittin him self . he is what you would call broken spirit , this looks bad when im out with him as he is allways cowering down and flinching i have never layed a finger on him either.

    and beleive it or not but the previous owner got the dog of [BANNED TEXT] who is the sort of person you would bump into with the same pair of socks on in 6 months !

    just goes to show !

    Tell you what mate - it's black and white "one dog" simple as! He's the one who is calling the shots. You may well have been mooching around there for 20 years but that matters not one jot!

     

     

    very true,yes he the farmer (dont) own the land, the land owner does, and as he gives her 5 grand to farm the ground, she the the land owner will always back him :yes: but as been said from few lads, suppose its time to get Buck on his own now, so maybe all this for the best. But its a pity he didnt get out of his cab, and say it to me on the deck would have loved to kick his slimy face inside out :yes: , well its only for the sheep really, and ifi lost the ground its no big deal really,soon find some more sheep to train the dog.

    problem is bird that the spinless prick would of phoned the police and then you would be nicked for assult , after about 10 or more trips to the court and solisitors you would find your self pi@#ed [BANNED TEXT] off and ya would of lost 10 days work and money and prob the land to , you did the [BANNED TEXT] thing but i know what i would of done :chair:

    roast lamb for sunday dinner anyone ?

    Sickening to see read or hear about. Why is it that these days so many IDIOTS getting lurcher pups and from the day they are able to take them out have them out walking miles out on push bikes running behind cars chasing rabbits and what have you. Well before there time. Destroying undeveloped parts of the pups Any muppet nowa days can pick up lurchers and waste them. When i was a lad you had to earn such a priviladge. What happend to letting pups be pups earning trust building bonds etc

    That's probably true. However, there are an awful lot of older people on here who are stuck up there own arse and have a 'how dare a young novice have the audacity to ask me a question about hunting' attitude.

     

    I am young and learning with a young pup. I have no one in my family/ friends circle to ask so I come on here the other day to ask a genuine question and I was basically told I am an idiot. What am I meant to do after that? Try and do it myself and risk ruining the dog only to be told I am a w@nker by the older lads on here? Us novices can't win with some of you lot.

    look mate there always gonna be sum prick that dont realise or is to old to remember what its like to not know how to do things. most of the lads on here are genuine . but some was bullied @ school and get a kick out of trying to make others look silly by bashing them up with there key boards when there mums are not looking . as i said most are genuine lads and have helped me out with all sorts of problems and tips over the last couple of years .

     

    any way i have been given a beddy whippet as the man had got himself a new pup and didnt want 2 dogs , he said its free of charge.if i breed it with my bro inlaw he wants the studd fee or pick of thelitter so he can sell it to one of the dick eds on the estate to beat and scream @ . . . . :hmm:
