Sleeping system
Sleeping facilities , partly in the spelling slept conditioning , more rarely, as sleeping space referred are artificial Fuchsbaue which of hunting dog owners are used to hunting dogs for the hunt under the ground on foxes abzurichten. The facilities are modeled on natural fox dens and consist of a network of artificial passages, including obstacles such as dead ends, risers and sandbars.
For the training, a specially kept, tame fox is used in the construction by the sleeper who is responsible for the facility. It is then the task of the hunting dog (these are small-format dog breeds such as dachshunds and various hunting terriers ) to follow the odor trail of the fox in the burrow to the main boiler, the central living space of the fox within the burrow, and to stay there for so long bark until the fox leaves the cauldron through an escape opening (hunter's language: "blow up the cauldron"). To protect the fox, the boiler is separated from the rest of the building by technical precautions so that there can be no direct physical contact between dog and fox.
