welshnutter69 78 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 yea, it might want that fox 100%, if the dog is on its own and goes into it 50/50 it could get bitten and be put right off it! and if its a young one it will more than likely happen, make sure the dog is MENTALY up to the job, it will look alot older than it is...never for get that 2 many good dogs getting spoilt by running the to young and slipping them on things that thay are mentaly not ready for.... 1 Quote Link to post
