I see in local free paper on the letters page someone wrote in about the Forest of Dean beavers ,an they might chew through a fence an escape ,an they mentioned there is estimated population of 1-2000 in Scotland that's not right surely?

I wonder what an 80lb bull cross would look like hanging off a beaver?

Biggest beaver ever caught was approx. 110 lb's in weight,i have seen trees damaged by them,it looks like a bored vandal has sat there shaving away at the trunk with a chisel...

As disappointed as our terriers looked many moons ago when we thought we had the worlds biggest rats to at with the coypu on the Norfolk broads, turned out to be ten times the size but not ten times the foe, the only beaver living wild in the uk that I,ve Seen you could have run up to it and done a drop goal it just sat there grooming itself not bothered by us in any way

Now that’s mental, you would think a critter with that type of ivory would make a much better show of things but obviously not......hence Chris Jones “bored” comment.

Well, they do say you learn something new every day.

Wonder how many terriers Dirty Harry shoots a year, in days gone by that looks like a good way of entering a pup but not a massive challenge even for one terrier that know,s it's stuff

[mackem 23,785]

I thought they would have had a bit more bottle than that,but apparently not,they are placid,not what I was expecting.

The big dog gets one....

Just watched few vids of beaver hunting there's  some Europeans? hunting them with pair of jagd terriers, there's also a family in USA who's pet pit bull got dragged under an bitten on stomach by a beaver when they walked the dogs down to a pond.

but they don't seem to be a difficult quarry,
