  1. Dorset beavers escaped

    in General Talk

    Posted

    Theres hundreds of them in kent.our house is by the river and they are pain in the arse.they escaped and to start with any damage they caused the nature place would come and clear up.now they are breeding like mad.they have chewed all the willow trees on our land, dig holes in the bank which I have lost lambs in and neighbors have had cows legs broken in them. They have just been made a protected species. Had about 6 roadkill on our road in the past year.

    No disrespect here feller so please dont take this the wrong way i hear alot of people going on they need this they need that whats with the wieght alot of these dogs carrying if there out all day every day 7 days a week ? Is it just how they are ? 
     

    If i went and got a cattle dog and i still would if i seen one out the right dogs hunting and that wouldnt be a priority for a good while theres other things you can do that tell you more about a dogs character.

    I got her second hand and she was literally obese when I got her.she had been shut away because she would fight with the guys sheepdog bitches, who she would of killed if allowed.she didnt fight with mine but you had to watch her constantly and always have it in the back of your mind.But they are heavy built and get fat just looking at grub but the proper working ones are a bit dumpy.

    They are a pushing dog, instinct to drive animals not round them up and bring them too you like a collie. So the job is to be full on, not calm and quiet. 

    If she didnt get that "aggression " for want of a better word, out of her system for a couple of days she would be a pain . Like a coiled spring with a bad temper. 

    Then when she got back to work she would go way overboard till she calmed down a bit. So without that outlet she would have been hard to live with as they do like a scrap and can be funny with people.

    You've asked what they are like, I had one for many years and as brilliant as she was I probably wouldnt have another one.

    I had a pure one for sheep and cattle work.without doubt the best and most loyal dog I've ever had. Beyond tough , absolutely fearless and would have died for me in a heartbeat. She would guard the vehicle if I wasnt there but fine with anyone if I was there, adored the kids. Her father on the other hand was an absolute man stopper.

    If they can chase and bite and bark at things every day and get it out their system they are a joy to have but just as a pet or to lay around a yard as a guard dog I wouldnt recommend one personally.

    Theres an old lady not far from me breeds them, gave me a long speech about how they are all working dogs and how they need more people to work them to keep the breed going, then she told me the price of them. When I told her I could buy 3 patterdales or Russell's for that money she just couldn't get her head round it. I said they should be giving the puppies away to younger people who are willing to give them a go and work them. They are priced out of the market for people to take a punt on in my opinion, or at least these ones are

    I'e got one and I've found it to make a big difference to be honest.it definitely makes you more aware of what you're using. If it' normally in the green and you see it in yellow you might have left the light on on the stairs etc.and you set your monthly direct debit to what you use not estimated bills.

    I got too the stage where I was having upto about 12 of them a day. I drank them because I used to like the taste and found them to be the right size just to have a quick drink,not as big as a can of coke ect that would sit open getting dust in it and getting warm.never found them to do any harm....until I stopped one day.jesus christ head aches nausea chest pains the lot.felt terrible for a good few days
