RE: Suitable Dog Posted 825 days ago Our beagle was a good one for chasing the foxes. Tough and fun dog too. Best to cover your whole chook run in good chicken wire. Including over the top. We found the foxes ran around and around the coop and they got so scared they flew out right into the foxes' mouths! We covered the top of the run and made them a house where they couldn't see the foxes. Didn't lose any then. |

RE: Suitable Dog Posted 824 days ago I reckon your good old Heeler would be a prime candidate. |
