Here's a lovely rug, made especially for a small guest bathroom here in Hunt Country.

UPDATE: Goldy liked this so much I went searching for more fox canvases. So I wrote this as a comment, then decided to post it here.
I thought it was a lovely rug, perfect for a tiny bathroom. Critter Cove needs such a rug!
Or maybe a wall hanging or pillow? These are classic William Morris designs by Beth Russell.

Maybe instead of walking on a fox rug you want to walk with foxes?

This fox and hunt horn is traditional in a non-traditional way.

If all else fails, call Bob at Hunt Country Yarns. Although Bob's shop is primarily for knitters, he stocks a great many fox/hunt/dog/horse designs and a lot of his customers do rugs. He's a great resource!

Oh Jane, I love that rug! I used to participate in mock fox hunts (we didn't really chase a fox nor kill one), and it was fun. Critter Cove Ranch has a lovely knoll that overlooks the creek and marsh, and that knoll has 9 foxholes in it. This rug would be so perfect at CCR, if only I had the time to stitch it (and the guts to actually put it on the floor, knowing it would get dirty!).
