[QUOTE="flowerpot, post: 7874975, member: 142783"] We had some sheep here on winter keep. A neighbour had come round saying they had lost their dogs, had we seen them? No, will they chase sheep? No, we have sheep in the adjoining field by the house. So the next day OH and son found the dogs chasing and catching the sheep in our field. Several badly injured, some PTS. Later some lost lambs. The owners of the sheep put the matter straight into the hands of - NFU? Land Agent? and definitely had a vet out. The owner of the dogs came round to use and put some money down on our kitchen table, but we said that they weren't our sheep. In the end it cost them £1,000s, far more than they had insurance cover for. The dogs were not put down, but I have never seen them since, apart from their garden. Yes, they did have sheep in the field next to the house, but I guess they were "their" sheep and thus part of the household (they were a french sheepdog breed). Also similar situation a few years before when an older man exercising a big strong dog got away and chased some sheep in another of our fields. The owner of the sheep took the dog owner to court after he refused to pay compensation, though he did have the unfortunate dog PTS, but then he had to go to court anyway and pay. So we are not that keen on having sheep here, being right next to the village. [/QUOTE]
