Billy,

So far, Nitro has surprised two foxes here and both times they took off running. What I am worried about is the one that might happen to have rabies or if he catches one, that it might have mange. Other than that, I am not too worried about them attacking Nitro because he is 100 lbs. Of course, he might think they are his play buddies. He surprised and caught up to a groundhog before it got to its hole, and he had no idea what to do. It was almost like he was trying to play with the groundhog.

My old English Springer Spaniel would have killed the foxes and the groundhog in a heart beat. Maybe that is why Nitro is a better house dog.
