Its just another tactic they will use to ban lamping, then all field sports with dogs. And if they ever did get a ban in place sheep worring and will still keep happing.

it will, as its mainly loose pet dogs that do it.

There's places before that there where as soon as your dog enters a field in the daytime it would be shot and the put the dog maybe on the side of the road for you or dump it . even if it had no regard for sheep or the is none there .

In all fairness you can't blame some famers for been trigger happy.

For a lot of famers its not the loss of money, but the traumatic state their livestock is left in.

If we have had approximately 15 to 20 cases of worrying over the years, only once that I can remember it was from a working type dog.

9 times out of 10 it's pet owners who don't know or have over looked stock training.

Blaming the working dog lads as soon as there is a incident is a total load of bollocks.

True. Best to stay away from such places . the cts them though blaming lamping for that Belgium shepherd .I saw a Alsatian and a collie one evening panting and blood and heading home up the road . next day farmer I knew from around there said dogs killing sheep a few times there and seen but never got the dogs but the be places around there getting visits who have dogs . dangerous game to be out lamping like that though , especially where things like that might have gone on and some with maybe acquiring a lurched or a few

The is Pablo is that they made out that the Belgium shepherd was a large hunting hound. That's utter rubbish that they have printed, tying to blacken every man with a hunting dog.

Makes better reading bring lamping into it and they bring it to the public's attention two birds one stone springs to mind

[tinytiger 822]

The icc are trying to get lurcherwork made as difficult as possible..try and associate anything bad that happens in the countryside with lamping

Very stupid for Irish coursing Club to bring any negative publicity to any form of hunting.....what goes around, comes around

What is a lamping breed,plenty of people tried pure breeds on the lamp.

 

They describe the breed in the article as a Belgian Shepherd. Not many use them as a lamper i don't think. !

I do, I also run a malinois x Shepherd.

 

But both are stock broken, as they are also used as sheepdogs during the day, clever dogs and they can multi task.

 

As has been said, never, ever trust any dog around sheep, it's not the dogs fault usually, it's because they have not been broke, not under control, or the sheep are scatty and if one breaks it becomes a chase reaction that soon leads to the hunt kill instinct that is in all dogs.

They sound like real handy dogs rabid. Would like to see them working sheep. As you said it's down to the owner of the dog at the end of the day. But it's the dog that's pays the ultimate price for their laziness or lack of understanding.

Where you from ?

 

Yes mate they are real handy, keep me on my toes though, they can quickly switch from been a good Shepherding dog to a killer, fortunately our sheep are dog trained and play by the book, but you still have to be 100% on the ball with them at all times.

 

Multi purpose dog, good around the yard as a presence, they know who is allowed in, and are wary of strangers so guard real well, they pick fur up under the lamp, (took a while to teach them recall when lamp goes off).

And during the day they herd sheep and cattle if required, in between they sleep on the sofa alongside us, a proper part of the family.

Can't beat a multi tasking dog sounds like a collie cur of yesteryear or the American curs .
