The last time Fenway was off-leash in an area that wasn't 100% fenced in, he ran down a gully and right into a fox den! When I finally got to the edge of the gully, I could hear screaming - he was going after the baby fox. I had to run down this gully (in the pouring rain) and pull him out. I didn't see any blood so I don't believe the baby fox got hurt and I know he didn't. So, I guess the answer is - no.

I wish I could trust Fenway. My sister and I went blueberry picking this past Sunday and we took her Lab because we came across a bear when we went picking last Thursday. Her Lab stayed with us the whole time. He would walk ahead and then stop and wait for us. It was amazing. Now, if I took Fenway, he'd be gone! He'd be in the next town over!

I admire dogs that can stay with their owners off leash. Now, Fenway is a terrier mutt so I think his instincts kick in and he has to run and go into holes. But I have to admit, my training him hasn't been the best either.
