Peregrine Falcon
Looking forward to drier days
A while ago there was a farmer having problems with dogs troubling his sheep (public footpath near them). He shot one and all hell broke loose. I was out for a walk in the forest with my boys when I saw a dog chasing a calf which was only a few days old.
The owner was just standing there calling the dog, which was not responding. I emailed our local paper and they ran a story about problem dogs chasing livestock. Maybe worth you doing the same as well. The problem of you hitting the dogs with a crop is giving her ammunition against you and I'm not sure that would get the dog off anyway.
I hope you manage to get the problem resolved promptly before there is an accident. Dogs should be under control near livestock. I'm sure there would be uproar if horse riders let their animals gallop wildly at humans!!!!
