Vince Green Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I thought you could never tame a fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I thought you could never tame a fox. I'm not so sure that the question people should be asking is "Can you tame a fox" - Surely the more important question is "Can you surpress or eliminate the foxes natural predatory instincts"?

blackthorn Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 must have had it for a while walked well on the lead,thought about asking them if they could teach our bell to do the same they must have walked the full perimeter of the park.

al4x Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Its one of those things I'd hate to see when walking the dog, not convinced it being on a lead would stop her bringing it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) It'd be an interesting sight to watch a drag hunt go passing through the field near them. Would they keep it on the lead or let it run?! Edited July 12, 2011 by Billy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitchynik Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Its one of those things I'd hate to see when walking the dog, not convinced it being on a lead would stop her bringing it back I guess so. At least the "owners" of the fox had it under control on a lead unlike the marrauding GWP. A badger on a lead, that I'd like to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I like seeing strange beasties like that on a lead with a proud owner, if it didn't want to be there it wouldn't much the same as the hyenas I've seen on leads in cameroon and other cities in Africa... At the end of the day if it is cared for I don't see a problem... Regards, Gixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Gixer! If you intend walking about here with a fox on a lead? Just make sure it is arms length away from your side OK. Hate to see a grown man with shrapnel in his leg!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
