So from chasing little rabbits to getting bit off a  fox and been expected to kill it  

can see why you struggle with a fox dog with other breeds  bull terrier easiest to enter that way  

so what would you recommend?

It’s a dog unless it likes a fight it will mainly go for the neck or bred off bulldogs that arse bite start back end stomach 

My dogs play with other dogs mate where do they go even playing and they see from older dog 

even Preban bambi only want pulling then neck finish otherwise load noise unnessceary suffering and nothing to eat  

good dog finish either in seconds pre ban

most dogs that killed quickly have normally smashed up the rib cage

I dig one with the terriers...shoot it and  let them have a rag with the other dogs...try and get them a 3/4 grown cub or 2 as they mature..slip them once or twice with an older dog,then try them on their own at 16/18 months old..never owned a runner that wouldn't run and drop one by the time they was 2 yr old..

There’d be punched holes you can fit finger in shoulders down back from the pulling but want them to neck your runnning crunchers

spot on, obviously depends on age of pup but 18months to 2 years when you get the 'corn cubs' in july is my opinion. as the dog matures and gets used to it, the cubs get bigger with their progression
