I don't want to endanger this small dog (about seven pounds of trouble). She almost died at six weeks old from biting into an electrical cord. $2,000 later she was still alive, but just barely. So, if you have an opinion I would love to hear it.

Foxes are rarely seen in daylight. Sometimes, it's not a good sign.

I guess you'll have to supervise your dog's excursions. I would imagine that rabies is the greatest danger.

the country of No. Virginia

I knew there was a state called West Virginia. I didn't know there was now a country called North Virginia.

Hope the pets are up on their shots. Odd occurrance. I'd be leery of the fox.

"Has anyone any experience with a dog and a fox striking up a friendship?"

Only at closing time when they issue "last call."

[Blueflag]

Any animal smaller than a red fox is a potential meal to a red fox. If your terrier was in heat, then that could drive the odd behaviour.

Is there any chance the 'fox' you saw was a neighbor's Sheltie? Our Shelties have been mistaken for foxes.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I suspect your little doggie is in heat.

I live in a nonrural area of No. VA and also have a silky terrier (not sure if he's Aussie). This dog would either kill the fox or die trying. I believe its unusual for any terrier to be friendly with a wild animal (as much as any animal in No. VA can be wild).

I live on Cape Cod MA and we have foxes . They come out in the day time as well as the night. They arn't a problem as far as I know. (maybe to chickens)
We do have a ferril cat taht keeps company with the neighborhood skunk. they are funny to watch together. But I'd be careful with your pup just the same. who knows. Its better to be safe than sorry.
good luck. PS we have coyotes too. they have folowed me at a close range then just walked off when I got in my car. scarey but fun after the fact. the trick there is (I guess) is not to panic.
I know I got off the tract but what the heck(;

[Tijeras_Slim]

I don't know about foxes, but all 48 lower states have coyotes. A coyote, or group of coyotes will attack your dog. Your pooch might be too curious for its own good.

[HairOfTheDog]

I am surprised your little dog didn't get eaten, honestly. I would scare off that fox if you ever see him again. He should not have been comfortable enough to let you see him.

[Zavien Doombringer]

I live in southern Virginia and we have our Fox problems too, but I have never seen or heard of that scenerio. My dog (Goldie) would have a hey-day with it. Fox tend to be very unpredictable, who knows. Make sure you have the shots up to date and watch your chickens!
