RussBoy 77 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Recently was gifted a full kc registered fox terrier bitch due to her not being upto scratch for the show circuit. Thought I'd take her on and see what this breed was made of for bushing etc. Today she showed great promise and goes absolutely mad for bunnies, not cover shy what so ever and pushed a nice one out to my deer x pup which was snapped up after a couple of turns. Over the moon!! 5 Quote Link to post
Neal 1,783 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 The earliest two terriers I can remember growing up were both fox terrier blooded (over forty years ago now mind). One was a pure smooth fox terrier and the other was half wire fox terrier half sheltie! Quote Link to post
gnipper 5,944 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 The only experience I've got with the breed is next doors 11 month old one which I would gladly strangle the yappy howling little shit. 2 Quote Link to post

Greyman 25,082 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 A mate of mine was gifted a wire haired bitch, earlier this year and by taking it for walks with other working lads over the summer it's started to work and actually caught its first bunny last week 1 Quote Link to post
stevemac 415 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I had them for about 12 yrs the bitches mother and daughter great hunters not scared of anything loved pushing cover and would often catch in cover ok if its was a fox or rabbit but the buggers would come out of the tunnels in the black berry attached to a feral pig often enough. they were a lot of fun all the best with her. 1 Quote Link to post
