Fox vs Yorkie?

[Verbena]

The smaller and smaller the "the wild"areas get for them, the more they move into the cities. I know they are cute but people don't understand they are wild animals. They continually feed them. Then they are not afraid of humans but they are still wild! Definitely carry air horn or something to scare her off. She is only going to get worse in the spring when she has her kits. Good luck and keep us posted

I try to wave my arms and scare her away, but this fox clearly isn't scared of me. She tries to approach Fifi. Today she was about five feet away when Ihad to grab my Fifi and run away.

Fifi is usually wary of other dogs doesn't seem to be bothered by the fox's presence. Should I be worred?

Do urban foxes eat yorkies?

Thanks,

Foxes eat anything in a reasonable size, cats,small dogs ,rabbit etc. Make as much noice as you can to make it go away. You want it frightened of you. Also keep in mind this is a wild animal and we have to be careful of rabbies. I have a fox that comes around as well usually I can just stand there with Andy and it keeps going. This is like 10 in the morning. My brother inlaw says it's because andy looks like a baby fox....
