The warm weather has finally arrived so just a reminder of my Hot weather policy

Walks will be played by ear if i feel its too hot then walks will be cancelled and replaced with garden visits for those that need them and dogs left alone.
Walks will be started earlier and might be cut shorter if needed.
As always the safety and well being of all dogs in my care is my priority.

Thankyou 😊

It's been a bit of a rubbish 2026 so far so I've not really been posting much. But here are some beauts I looked after for holiday cover recently while mum and dad got a lovely and well deserved break. A vet visit was needed for one who had cellulitis but happily she's improving every day.

How cute is this little old man? Always a pleasure to see him, and he's wintered well. He might be one of our elder statesmen but you still have to have your wits about you with him, or he can make a fool of you 😂😂😂🤡

Everyone fed, poo picked, shelters cleared out and plenty of hay for the night. Always a pleasure to see these three. 🤍🖤🤍

🚨 New Dog Law Alert – Now in Force From (18th March) 🚨

The 18th March Marked a BIG change for dog owners across England & Wales when it comes to dogs around livestock… and it’s one every owner needs to understand 👇

A new law has officially come into force to better protect farm animals from dog attacks and “livestock worrying” (that includes chasing, stressing or attacking).

🐑 So what’s changed?

✔️ Unlimited fines
Previously capped at £1,000, now there is no limit to what you could be fined if your dog worries livestock.

✔️ Stronger police powers
Police can now:
• Seize and detain dogs
• Enter premises to gather evidence
• Use things like DNA evidence in investigations

✔️ No contact needed for it to be an offence
If your dog chases or causes distress to livestock, that’s enough.

🧠 Why this matters

Livestock worrying isn’t just “a bit of chasing”

It can lead to:
• Injured or killed animals
• Miscarriages in pregnant livestock
• Huge emotional and financial impact on farmers

And this isn’t rare. Around 87% of sheep farmers reported attacks in 2024.

🐾 What should YOU be doing?

Simple, responsible handling makes all the difference:

👉 Keep your dog on a lead around livestock
👉 Don’t assume “they’re friendly” means safe
👉 Read signs and respect farmland
👉 Train reliable recall, but don’t rely on it in high risk areas

This isn’t about scaring people, it’s about responsibility.

Most owners would never intentionally harm livestock
But lack of control is all it takes.

If your dog would chase, you need to manage that. Full stop.

Let’s raise the standard of dog ownership and keep everyone safe. Dogs, livestock, and owners included 💛
