What makes me laugh is the bull x lads ain't much sense or ability in dogs 

It would take a dogman a few years to breed an out and out killer with all night in the tank  that loves teeth and still looked hard on a lead lol haha 

I think you are selling lads short, not so much now, but back in the 90's and early 00's there was plenty of lads with very capable dogs around these parts, only a select few kept the torch lit after the ban mind.

Yes and no. 

i was never a foxing man , i would run and kill but more as an opportunity to test the dog and a bit of crack than anything too serious . I like a bit of bull in a running dog for the snap and the brain they have and it just tidies up a dog imho

One of the best what I would call spree killers lol was our very own @WILFdog who could get taken out to a place with heavy foxes and be guaranteed to leather them back to back with minimum respite between. I believe he was heavily saluki blooded and was as handsome a dog as you could wish to kennel. 

conversely a dog that you would think would be a grinder of foxes might take one early in the evening and take a few bites and in a few hours be a little less reluctant to engage with the next one once the nips have started to rub and it pumped up blood has calmed down. Seen it numerous times and that’s a fault , it’s one I could live with . 
 

as said though , I’m not a foxing man per se . Just my opinion 

I'm the same I don't fox now but I keep eye out nice un open land I can't help my self but he's a big strong dominant dog I'll grass 3 and alot more when gunter comes 

One run his be flaked out needing a drip if it doesn't just stop go back to him like them other Irish dogs did lol 

 

I've heard wilf mention his dogs can't remember seeing them

They were night and day different to many of the excuses of dogs you see today that couldn't catch a cold, more typey, even the monsters had the grace of a thoroughbred. I see very few bull crosses today that I think "I'd love to own that dog."

Been to both and was asked to judge Flimby and did. 
I was at the Roman Wall show a few weeks ago and met up with a few of lads from the Flimby Club. There was three lads you probably know who had a pick up full of hairy foxing dogs from Whitehaven, rough looking bunch…..the dogs AND the lads ! LOL !

Cheers.

No, all I see is odd shaped cob hosses that don't look like they can catch a cold and if they did, wouldn't be able to fight it.

I thought it might have been one of those brother-sister mating they did. I thought Wilf got one.

Cheers.
