13 month all my dogs start to work fox but i also work them to bunnys mostly my 5yr old bitch as she now knows not to go to ground for bunnys but is a dead sert to do fox below my 2yr old dog is used on the lead to mark burrows as i believe this to bring the best out of thier nose more so when young before fox work starts and so far in all 4 and a half years of taking the old bitch out i have oly had to dig her out with 1 bunny as i said though she now knows not to go to ground for bunnys my 2yr old dog however will go to ground for anything at the moment though with time he will soo

my 5yr old bitch sounds just like yours but my 2yr old dog is a fookin nightmare to stopwhen hes off hes off thats why anytime hes off the lead the locator coller has to be on him or hes good for going to ground and will be lost as when he goes to ground he has to be dug or he aint coming out at all imo its a terrier thing to put the head down and go as its the drive and determination of them to get the quarry and not much you can do will stop them atb john

Haha funny story. Thats very similar to the situation i was talking about, only smaller container. Dont think i will be able to afford a long net any time soon but got 30 nets and getting another 20 soon. Would it be worth giving it a go with the nets? Also hoping theres no lay ups, but could just go at first light so theres plenty time John hi john i have longnets i could come and give you a hand and i have a couple of old ones i could leave with you if your ok with that pm me your only about half an hour away from me

i have one 5yr old now and she is an unbelievable digging bitch i dont know how to get pics on threads but theres a pic of her on my profile every time i break through to her she is jaw to jaw takes an odd pounding but heals up really fast strong as an ox and has dragged a few foxes out of earths by the back of there head had to use her to rescue other dogs that have went to ground without a locator(not intentional)and where other dogs couldnt find she would she is that good a bitch its hard to believe although it has been witnessed as to how good she is

john rambo you my friend are the tit head your one of these guys that think because your mutt is blackwater that it is something special it may be i havent seen it work but for your little mind its not the name that makes the dog and if you cant accept that comment then dont post about your dog on a thread that said NO BULLX and as for calling me a tit head it is you that are the tit head if you cant accept oppinions from others especially when i was not criticising your dog but just saying that a name on a dog does not make it a good one in some cases it helps but not always s

The name of a dogs breeding doesnt make it any better a dog than one that has breeding thats unheard of i have had dogs from merlin and eve and pie lines both very well known breeding and they were not worth sh!te and the dogs i have just now are from lines unheard of and they are superb like i said its whats in a dogs head not size or breeding

Boiling it doesnt smell any worse than the smell of boiling a hare or venison but if smell is an issue then a camping stove outside is a second option much better and quicker than burying it anyway atb john

Pit bulls a fookin dangerous my arse is a yorkie or russell/lakey/patt or border any less dangerous pit bulls undoubtably do more damage when they attack but dogs like ive said will bite or try to bite on a lot more regular basis you just dont hear about it but when one pit bites the whole world hears about it and hears a FACT for you matt more ppl in britain are bitten by golden retrievers and labs and collies than what they are from pit bulls
-
I agree with that rogue at the end of the day its whats in the dogs head not its size you just have to let the dog course a fox to find out if it will take them i also agree that although alot of skill from from a dog is needed for fox depending on what type of ground you run it on its a hole different ball game when it comes to coursing good winter hares atb john

I agree a dog thats double up cant be classed as a single handed dog and sooner or later will get used to being doubled and might not want to do it on its own and a dog thats not single handed cant really be classed as a good dog more of an intermediate

And just to add to my last post before the bullx became more popular it was mostly beddyxgreyxwhippet that was used for foxes it was a bit more of a scrap but they done the job bullx just do them more efficiently and end the fox quicker

Any breed will take fpx no matter how big or small i once met an old keeper who had a small lab take the odd fox so he said the dog did have a few badges on him so i never doubted him i personally used to have a 23inch sal/grey/whippet who took fox for fun though at first she ran beside them until she was nearly two before she took her first one

Boil the skull after you cut it takes ten minutes and you can mount it the same day miles better than leaving it somewhere that you might forget where you put it

Spot on T.C but even a good mate shouldnt mind about paying £50 for all efforts put in to the pups and £1000 / £1200 for a lurcher no matter how good its parents are is riddiculous you would be sh t scared to let it off the lead and for that kind of price i would want a 20carrot gold feet on the thing oh and bulletproof/shatterproof bones

I have thought about this subject more than a few times over the years and its difficult to say who i would agree with though imo as someone who has been hunting lurchers and terriers for 15 yrs i have had a few pups free from mates and paid £150 for a terrier some ive kept and some ive passed on as pets the ones past on were not done so on the basis of turning a coin or simply because i was fed up with it but because it just never made the grade even when they were from right good stock i also agree with the stupidity of prices put on certain breeds which imo were accidents and someone made

To be a good dogman you have to have common sense and dedication to what you want from your dogs all the money and patience in the world cant buy these two attributes i think if your dedicated 110% and have plenty of common sense then you are a good dogman/woman learning something new comes with going out and doing it for yourself not from books or ppl who have read books and then sit online telling ppl things that they have done when they have simply read it in a book AS YOU ALL KNOW THERE ARE PPL HERE LIKE THAT common sense about surface types to run a dog or not and common sense to not
