 I took another 15 month old pup out for his first time in the swamp.Watching a young terrier who has seen nothing,enter the earth ,simply because his DNA tells him too, amazes me every time.

Just a possum dug shallow but the pup did what he should.

 

Few pics from today 

I hope y'all enjoy this one.I nearly lost a hand trying to take the picture  Roughly 50 lb beaver .

 

 

 

 

 

Do you tail em or scruff em when they still alive swami? Bet they got some strength? I was very surprised when I got the chance to handle a dog otter that was injured by a car.... Picked it up, thinking it was dead, opened up the terrier box and the little f****r came aroundstrong as f**k tbf.. I got him to the vets for a check up... They gave me a big pair of welders gauntlets to get him back out the box... Was not a happy chappie f***ing stink too... Took weeks for the smell to go

In my opinion an otter is stronger and more dangerous than six foot gator and I have wrestled both and both smell about as bad 

Beaver are not as strong as otter of same size but beaver get bigger.I don't tail beaver or scruff.I leg em.Their backlegs are the most vulnerable spot in my opinion.If you grab his tail he will shake you all over and can bite you.If you can get a back leg you have got him much same as wild hog.Just keep it lifted high and let his head barely touch.A beavers front legs are similar to a T-Rex arms.

Make no mistake though anything that does get in a beavers mouth will be cut off.

This a beaver from last season.

What about the sailors on the boats would they of been able to take a dog with them? Maybe worth a few quid when they got there and entertainment for the journey. 

Just thinking out loud.

I'd say the people that kept dogs and brought dogs across with them were wealthy to begin with,there was plenty of wealth about those times too.

Thats my thinking on it as well, it wasn't only poor starving immigrants that made the crossing.
