Dog owners in Perth and Kinross have been warned that they could face prosecution or even lose their dogs if they do not abide by sheep worrying rules as the local lambing season begins next month.
Local area commander chief inspector Graham Binnie also spoke out to “remind dog walkers of their responsibilities” and to keep pets on a lead when they are near sheep.
Dog owners have a duty to ensure their pets are under control according to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, especially when there are pregnant ewes and young lambs in the fields.
