There is a farmer near Moel y Parc in the Clwyds with the same attitude. Numerous signs up telling you he will shoot your dog and he has threatened to shoot mine. This was annoying as whilst mine were calm, obedient and under close control (infact I was just putting them on the lead to enter a field with loose livestock) his dogs were going crackers. I have been told by others that he is known for shooting dogs and to give him a wide berth.

I actually believe that farmers should be able to shoot dogs that are genuinely causing distress to their livestock. Unfortunately peoples interpretation of where the line is differs.
