A Land Of Dragons, Bears, Lions, and Wolves

Some of the descriptions of British terrier work can border on the absurd. 

Does every fox have to be described as a "lamb killer"? 

I suppose so in a country that has no coyote, wolf, bobcat, mountain lion, black bear, alligator, or grizzly! 

When your biggest game animal eats worms and bulbs, and your largest predator dines on mice, you may have to dress up your rationale for the hunt every bit as much you dress up yourself. Mere sport with dogs cannot do!

In America, of course, such a claim would be met with laughter. 

A red fox threatens your farm? A badger? 

Please! 

We have real predators from one end of this country to another. No need for tales of Beowulf here! 

A country full of bears and coyotes does not need to invent dragons.

Not when we have... you know... dragons.
