Lurcher Nipped By Fox Pre Ban

[snatchbullet 55]

A friend of mine had a dog just over a year and a half. it had had a few young foxes single handed and did fine with them!! it had a big dog fox but he was close to hand to help it out. he was out with the lamp many moons ago and slipped it on a fox in the lamp. the dog was keen and tackled the fox but got a good nip on the nose and let go he was still hot on the tail of the fox but fox got away. i told him to leave it a wee bit then enter it with a session dog. what would every one say would be a good idea for him to have done... havent spoken to him in years so havent heard what happened. thanks for info and obvisouly all pre ban

The dog obviously bottled it..i had one do the same many moon's ago and after a bad bite on the muzzle he refused to do them every again single handed..

It's a shock after having a few before which never had bitten back.

 

Had happen to a very old dog that after he was bitten he wanted them more. Depends on the dog.

Yep, no point beating about the bush. Your dog, sorry I mean yours mates dog, dosnt like getting bit. He might change his mind, he might not.

some dogs look the buisiness doubled up when young then become a dissapointment when asked to do it single handed i owned one like that but gave it to a rabbiting lad as i was into fox in a big way back when it was legal-billy

Had a bitch which was good in her first couple of seasons, then one night there was loads of reds about I was a bit of a prick and let her have too many courses, I ran her too hard and ruined her she never commited to pull one again.

Young lurcher bitch I had many years ago, got her head stuck in a big fox's jaws in a tussle above ground. The fox couldn't let go as its jaws were forced too wide apart, and she couldn't get out; I had to prise its teeth off her skull. She was about 18 months at the time and had taken plenty of foxes prior to that, and got nipped a few times as well.

That incident put her off for two years, on top, at any rate, but she'd literally go mad at the end of a dig, and go jaw to jaw with them to pull them out and kill them. She eventually started taking them on top again, but she was a bit too careful and and was never again what I'd have called a good single handed bitch on top on the run. She did love them to ground though, and took twice as much punishment like that, but didn't seem to care a bit: just fired her up a bit more.
