to me its all about the chase, if i could have it my way the hare would be let go unharmed after being caught. just seeing the dog on its quarry is enough for me
while working our patterdale to fox in a stack of hay bales some years ago, the dog and the fox got stuck as the gap narrowed. when we reached the pair the dog had ate all the foxes backend, never seen that before but i bet it as happened to others
