The lurcher as a hunting companion, or as a killing machine?

[rocket_man 6]

pre ban i did a lot of day time foxin and in my experience they some times catch them in places that you would find it hard to get to the bottom of a gil or thick bramble. I would expect the dog to be able to deal with his quarry on his own no good the dog waiting for the back up i think there would be to many wasted chances and a dog baying or just hold them for 30 seconds then let go again is no good when using dogs for serous pest control.

very same guys that say, dog should kill it, are indded the same guys ye see pulling away when a bunny kicks oot

 

 

 

get it over an done with, as quickly an quietly as possible, an move on

and also how u planning on killing a fox quickly when it could turn and bite ya ? pre ban

I allways carry a knife, and use it where appropriate.

but what about that grey area where you have a dog that has never hunted fox and it tackles one by accident when your out after rabbit. i have a little kelpie x grew i wouldnt stand by and watch a little dog like her try and tackle a big dog fox it would be a blood bath.wether big or small a hunter worth his salt should dispatch his prey with the minimum of fuss and anxiety caused to the prey. its your duty and we can all argue till we are blue in the face but wether its vermin or not it deserves a quick and as painless a death as possible.

 

all my dogs are companions first and foremost what glory is there in seeing your dog with a face like a football after a fox has mangled it?

 

How much does that Kelpie cross weigh?
