taffyboi 19 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 would a whippet take on a fox?or would it be a silly idea for a dog? I had a whippet pre ban had a hatred for fox's take a while to dispash it, she used catch them of the hole out with the terriers and lamp the lil bitch hated them may have just been her but she delt with a good few in her life and didnt bat a eye lid but for an out an out foxing dog i wouldt like to use 1 they would recive a fair bit of punishment Atb taffyboi aslong as the fox was not a big f***er i suppose it would do well pre ban,but if it was a fully grown big fox it would be a silly idea My bitch had them the middel of december dont really go out outa season but as i sed i would recamend it she used to take to much punishment and it wasnt the qwickest of jobs eaither Quote Link to post

2Painless2btrue 11 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 All down to the breeding I'd say. We've all seen small Jacks do the job pre-ban, so a game Whippet could be efficient. All down to instinct and courage surely? If it's not in the dog it won't do the job, regardless of breed. Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I think this one has been put to bed numerous times, and the answer was, they are not and never will be fox dogs, but plenty should be able to take the odd fox here and there, although against some, they will take a bit of stick. 2 Quote Link to post
