      Our dogs where on their longer leads at the time and we are fairly strict with them when it comes to their behaviour, so as soon as they reacted and tried they where straight into the van and told off, we would never just let them chase animals and it’s not just Ireland where farmers will shot dogs for chasing live stock it’s also in the UK which is why we have them on leads when near any farm lands
