Its Dogs Worrying Livestock Awareness Week!


All this week we are promoting responsible dog ownership in the countryside and highlighting the importance of keeping you dog on a lead around Livestock. 

 

Dogs worrying livestock is a criminal offence, and one that can have a lasting impact! 

So I just wanted to share a photo of one of our team dogs doing his bit to raise awareness, hopefully he brings a smile to you today. 

 

Knowing the legislation around dogs and livestock could help save lives of livestock as well as protecting dog owners from legal action and possible prosecution.

Read about the legislation here, and do the right thing- Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953
