Dogs

North Assynt Estate is a working estate, and you will see a lot of livestock here. From sheep to cows, pigs and poultry, please be aware that these animals live here and are the vital livelihood of the crofting people. Make sure your dogs are always under control. Keep them on a lead when out and about, and NEVER allow them to chase livestock. 

The is the damage a dog can do to a lamb. It only takes an instant. This poor lamb had to be put to sleep.

 

Even if sheep are some distance from you and your dog, they can easily become stressed and frightened. There have been instances of sheep running over the cliff edges trying to get away from the perceived threat, and ewes miscarrying due to stress caused by dogs. 

 

PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERS!
