There is a circular walk I regularly take up on to Malham Moor with my dog. Unfortunately, one large field often has cattle in it and there is no way round.I always pick up my Lakeland and carry him. He squiirms like heck but it is so much safer than letting him run loose. If I had a large dog that particular walking route would be off limits for us.
Sheep don't bother him. Actually, in a strange way, they do. He has a ball fixation and so long as he has a tennis ball in his mouth, or is chasing one, never gives them a second glance. Last week, this is true and I have never seen it before, two lambs ran up to him and he froze whilst they sniffed him. Mother ewe then followed, put her nose on him for 15 seconds, then all three sauntered off.He's a funny little ginger dog is my Benji!
