My Toy fox could care less about the chickens and ducks and such...his breed was not intended for hunting and I can tell....my Jack Russell would love nothing more than to sink her teeth into any varmit...better if it has legs like a squirrel, but a chicken will do! I have consistently trained her not to exhibit that behavior at my barn, and she doesn't. Now if I could only model my consistency with the way I train my dogs into the way I am with Jordan!
