I think this is the correct place to post. My sister has left me her fox terrier and i want to know what kind of animals do people use these dogs to hunt? I was thinking on teaching him to hunt rabbits or squirrel but i have no idea on how to do so. He is young so i want to try him out on something since my dad does not let me teach any of our curs to do so lol he thinks it will ruin them lol Any suggestions and insight are appreciated.
They will work on anything that moves, lots buy a squirrel trap and work them on a live trapped squirrel by sicking him on it while the squirrel is inside and being rasied up and down a tree limb, it usually does not take much to get them to treeing. It is really a fox terrier or a rat terrier or what breed. got a picture?? Start out with basic obey me stuff and them get the squirrel tail on a fishing pole deal going and make or buy a raccoon rolling cage to work small pigs, coon squirrels feral cats in etc etc. What county do you live in and do you have any huntable population of squirrels?? Squirrel dogs bring more money than hog dogs if you have a good one that will bark tons and tree. You can also train him to find dead hogs and wounded deer as well for $$$$$ during hunting season unless you are in one of those prohibited countys in texas, good luck and keep us posted how he is doing. There is a lot of dvds and videos in Full Cry Magazine and some on Squirrel dog centrals websites too.
