Wild-Bill 500 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Quick question if you had a genuine dog very successful, done the lot so to speak. Would you cull if the dog took it's hand to sheep? I don't mean purposely hunting them as those dogs are good for f**k all, but I mean would take one if in the same field... ? If the dog was that good you'd have no end of people willing to take it off your hands regardless of this fault, its the way of the world sadly. True Quote Link to post

SMOGGY 34 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 As a sheep farmer, I would hope the dog owner would do the responsible thing, and see the farmer and compensate him for the loss of the sheep ! Unfortunetly doesn't happen very often! 3 Quote Link to post
squab 2,875 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 never had a single dog in 20 year broke to sheep and iv lamped all over the county without it ever causing a problem,im not saying there isnt any sheep but in the main its all arable if i did like the look of a spot that held sheep nearby id simply steer clear not being a fool to take the chance although its never once been a problem for me take from that what you will but its never stopped or hindered me getting dog out lamping or daytime ever. 4 Quote Link to post

skip1234 45 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Do you believe it's your responsibility to protect another mans livelihood from a dog that's turned it's head to sheep by putting it down with no hesitation or do you believe you owe it to the dog to break it with the use of certain technics I.e the use of shock collars ect? Personally I will try break the dog. i show my dogs sheep from youngpups easy to teach them Quote Link to post
