Show their faces - they deserve to be embarrassed by their stupidity, and their threatening behavior. I just found your channel, my first watch and already heartbroken for you having such a rough go of it. Ive watched the Sheep Game deal with dogs. To the point he ran over a dog to stop him running sheep ( and his heavily pregnant wife run after the dog and owner). The dog was fine at the end, but Im sure Cammy and Lizzie took awhile to get over the trauma, as Im sure with you as well. * finished the episode, I was just so angry I posted before finishing. I hope a lawyer addressing the horrible couple suggesting a costly ( for them) lawsuit. Btw, watched a couple more of your videos and am really enjoyed it. Thanks from a new subscriber. 😊

The older I get, the less I trust the majority of dog owners. They don't know how much damage they do & they don't care. The big thing I saw those people do was confuse feeling "sorry" with taking responsiblity. When I was young, I lost my favorite cow, and later her daughter, to dog packs. The level of anger I felt was monumental. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

I totally feel for you, with those dog owners. I hope they DO face consequences. The first year I had sheep lambing, my niece moved in (I live with my father, so have no veto power) and her dogs worry my sheep all the time. Her response is "Well dogs are man's best friend" and "They wouldn't hurt them" and it's been a constant battle. Particularly as my father has dementia and just literally cannot take the trauma of making decisions and stuff. So I literally have two choices. I can sell all my livestock, or tolerate my niece allowing her dogs to worry my sheep (It's only 40 minutes a day, what's the big deal?") Perhaps ironically, but now my niece is reaping what she sowed. One of my ewes, who was a lamb when my niece moved in, and who has, therefore, been chased and worried by those dogs since she was a lamb, she had her first lambs three weeks ago. I was taking my small flock for a walk around my house (I'm a total hobby farmer) and first my sister, and then my niece all allowed their dogs out of the house. Kits, my ewe, reacted when she saw the dogs. My sheep are American four-horned Jacobs' and she took one look and was instantly bent on pulverizing the dogs into mush. The dogs ran, but it's now clear that the ewes will do their best to kill the dogs if they come near. Now that the dogs' lives are threatened, my niece is suddely paying attention. This morning I suspected that my youngest and final sheep had lambed. Just 12 days ago, the day the previous first-timer lambed, this same ewe was being chased and worried .... not by the dogs, but instead she got a stick caught in her wool and she was flipping out. It took almost half an hour for me to isolate her and get the stick unstuck...... and while I was helping my penultimate ewe lamb out her first baby, I was keeping an eye on my ewe..... she was shaking, shivering, panting, and looked like she was ready to have a heart attack. I wasn't sure she was bred, but worried that if she was, she'd lose the baby. I don't know if any person can see a distressed ewe and believe that ther'e's no big deal if the dogs chase the sheep. The folks in your video were utter blithering idiots. Taking their dogs for a walk in the country, allowing the dogs off their lead, and then blaming YOU for not letting THEM know you have livestock. Only a fool believes the farmer needs to inform them about livestock. Just don't take your damn dog off the lead!

After watching your last film about the dogs chasing the pregnant ewes I felt I needed to comment. Those people are stupid and arrogant, whilst walking in the countryside where there is any possibility of livestock being in the fields especially at lambing time dogs should always be on leads. I own two dogs and never have them off lead where livestock is likely to be I wouldn’t trust them not to follow their natural instincts. Hoping the weather improves for you soon and that the lambing goes well. Well done you two. Your Dad would be proud of you.

Joanna, your incident with the dogs and their ignorant and pig arrogant scumbag owners bought back some unpleasant memories for me. The incident occured at night back in 1977 when some dogs chased our entire dairy herd that we had at the time over and though a barb wire boundary fence. The aftermath was horrendous with ripped open udders, cut and torn teats and one aborted calf foetus. Nobody ever admitted responsibility, however we knew without doubt who's dogs were responsible. It was 1977 and despite our efforts they got away with it. The Police said without any real evidence (it was night) and with the dog owners who were camping for Easter at a neighbouring property denying that the 2 dogs went anywhere that night, it all came to nothing. I hate those people to this very day. Sorry about the rant.

Pennsylvania is so much easier to deal with dogs. mail the collar and tag back to the owner. If the dog survives, well it has to be insured on a policy, out in public it has to be muzzled and, on a leash, if it is outside it has to be in an enclosure no on a chain in the yard. Up until 18 years ago it was more under the constables and English common law, but with the dog law they did in 2006 OMG. I know one herder that lost 8 ewes one night to a pack of 6 dogs from one owner.

Entitled townies probably don't have the first clue. As a country girl I genuinely have an all out hate for entitled people like those dog owners.

Omg. First time I've watched your channel. Big fan of Cammy & lizzie, ewe tube, sheep school, etc. I'm sure I'll be a fan of you too! Them 2 dog walkers are the fools & shouldn't be allowed to keep animals.

It is an offence for a dog to be out oontol causing fear or apprehension to people or livestock. A dog doesn't actually have to cause physical harm for there to be legal consequences and for the dog to end up on death row. Owners nedd to be educated of this fact. They were so ignorant and rude. People like this dont deserve dogs!

As a dog owner myself I am horrified at those dog walkers' attitudes, so selfish and ignorant they absolutely should be paying compenasation for the havoc they caused. You would think that even if they don't care enough for the sheep and the farmers that they would be concerned enough about their own dogs to keep them on lead and under control since even in the UK a farmer is within their rights to shoot an out of control dog that is worrying their livestock. If people don't shape up their attitudes and learn to respect farmers by sticking to the marked footpaths, keeping dogs under close control and picking up after them, closing gates, picking up litter etc ie all the basic country code stuff we were taught as kids, then we'll end up eventually losing the right to access those ancient, centuries old footpaths for walking and enjoying the beautiful countryside. I really feel for you, dog owners like the ones in this video anger and frustrate me so I can't imagine what it feels like for the farmers whose livelihoods are directly impacted.

Can I just reassure you that you did everything right there. Those dog walkers were in the wrong. They should have provided their details to you. Gobble townies who think the countryside just ‘happens’ and is provided for their leisure activity. I would have called the Rural crime team and shared the video with their faces with the police. Hopefully the new law will pass soon making it illegal to have a dog off lead anywhere where sheep could be. Sending best wishes to you and your flock from ours in Wales. 🐏🐏

I wish people would stop letting their dogs off the leash when in a field of sheep because you don’t know how your dog is going to react & now you have a vet bill & dead lambs & they don’t care they should be made by law to pay & then just maybe they will think twice about letting their dogs off

Unite in reporting these irresponsible dog owners to the police to grow the record. And collectively start a strong case to privatize pathways (in season) or at the least official signage with fine warnings.

I am guessing the police can’t release the names for various reasons. The only other way would be to put an appeal out, say that you are doing this as you wish to take them through the small claims court and the Police know who they are but are unable to share their details plus a request that they message you directly as you don’t want the couple to face abuse. It’s wording it a way that would avoid accusations of malicious communications or harassment. I’d only do it if you are prepared to carry it through to the court and remove it as soon as you get their details. If you call their bluff they may suddenly decide to pay. The downside could be if they are malicious enough to leave negative reviews of the campsite. The alternative is to speak to your insurance company who may be able to obtain the details and pursue it for you. Solicitors might help but would soon wipe out the claim value… It’s probably one of the worst lambing times in memory due to the weather that you are trying to get through and my heart goes out to you and your fellow farmers 💕

When I was working at a store we had fake surveillance cameras. They are fairly cheap and run on AA battery. They are visually indistinguishable from normal cameras, if you're not a security expert. Visually has a lense inside a glass case and a blinking light. Put them on perimeter with wires attached and put up signs explaining that people who release their fleebags will be filmed, reported to the police, and sued for all dead lambs. And consider purchasing a pneumatic gun, at the very least. It is clear that these people are out there hunting your livestock. I seriously doubt it was a fox. Maybe they even frequent your farm to kill and steal lambs. I watched three videos and all dogs are similar. Dark, curly fur. Most likely, related. I had experience with dog owners hunting my pets (cats). In their opinion, the moment they purchased a pup, the world revolves around them, and if it bites you when you're minding your own business, it's your fault for existing in near proximity with their pooch. Only death threat to the dog will, at least temporarily, redirect their thinking processes from scrotum to cranium.

You're doing a fine job despite everything seemingly going bonkers. So sorry about the loss of your lambs. While watching the video and then hearing those idiots defend their nasty dogs, I wanted to leap over your wall & "chase" them awhile! Horrid behavior on the owner's part. I love dogs but they need to stay away from livestock! Especially during lambing, etc. The owners definitely owe you compensation, not only for the vet, the lamb but also for your additional stress. Not good. Good luck.

I think there is a good chance of a successful prosecution from the Police if you also went to the local papers at the very least it might make some ignorant people behave more responsible. Those people should compensate you, it is the right thing to do or face a court appearance, their choice.
