Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Just wondering if any of you lads who have brought on a fox dog notice this?. I got a pup off a lad from this site, and from a very early age she started killing rats, not only would she kill then but she actively went hunting them in ditches , she done this of her own accord, she has since then turned out to be decent enough fox bitch. Is this type of behaviour an early sign that this pup could indeed be what we are looking for? thanks Quote Link to post

huntingalltheway 2 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 ive know a few dogs been put on rats from young and as long as your dog has right frame of mind its a good staring point as rats can give a good bite to. but depends on the dog if hes enjoying it obviously its not gonna hurt but i wouldnt do it if the dogs not liking it much as then it could start causing problems. ive got a really firery bullx that im putting on rats as i see him to have right frame of mind and hes a nipper been in the barns last few days here and there to get him on them.
