    mark as just had jasper out for his bed time walk/run.......he always sees the fox on the field with the light of the torch, they are like cats eyes,
    he spotted a fox and jasper ran off into the trees right near where the fox was seen,.....jasper ran off he was gone for a few minuets, we have just been laughing saying we can imagine him licking the fox face :)
    would the fox harm him in any way ?

    Lynne, I don't think the fox will do anything to Jasper it would probably just run away. Hope Jasper didn't roll in the fox poo though :eek: x

    I'm pretty sure foxes are too fast to get caught by a dog. They should just run away.

    The main thing you're in danger of is having a dog covered in fox poo - it's their favourite perfume!

    I doubt that Jasper would get anywhere near it :) Foxes are a lot more agile than dogs and escape would be no problem for the fox. That's all it'd want to do - get away.

    Too right - one cleared the new 6ft fence in our garden the other day, with no run up. I was astonished. And on our last walk yesterday, one ran up a wall - at least 10ft - to avoid us. I swear that it must have had sticky pads like spider man.
