If my dog chases sheep, it is likely that the sheep will be injured or killed. This is because dogs are predators and their natural instinct is to chase and kill prey. When a dog chases sheep, they are putting the sheep in danger of being harmed or killed.
If you’re lucky, your dog will just chase the sheep and not actually hurt them. However, if your dog does manage to catch a sheep, they can do some serious damage.
Sheep are delicate creatures and even a small dog can cause major injuries if they’re not careful.
If your dog does catch a sheep, try to get them to release it as quickly as possible and
seek veterinary attention if necessary.
Why Do Dogs Want to Chase Sheep?
There are a few reasons why dogs want to chase sheep. One reason is that they see the sheep as prey.
Dogs are natural predators and their instinct is to chase and catch anything that moves.
Another reason is that some dogs are herding dogs and have been bred to herd sheep. They see the sheep as something that needs to be controlled and kept together, so they instinctively want to chase them.
Finally, some dogs just think chasing sheep is fun!
A PRAGUE RATTER IS NOT A HERDING DOG. IT HAS A VERY HIGH PREY INSTINCT.
They enjoy the challenge of trying to catch something that is constantly moving and they get a lot of satisfaction from it.
Do Dogs Harm Sheep?
There is a lot of debate on whether or not dogs harm sheep.
Some people believe that dogs can be harmful to sheep and other livestock, while others believe that they are harmless. The truth is, it depends on the individual dog and their temperament.
Some dogs may be more likely to chase and attack sheep, while others may simply ignore them.
However, even if a dog does not show any aggression towards sheep, they can still cause problems by barking at them or chasing them around. This can stress the sheep out and cause them to lose weight or even die. JUST LIKE RATSO CHASING, ATTACKING AND KILLING OR CAUSING THE DESTH OF THE ROOSTERS?View attachment 2841241

Conclusion
If your dog chases sheep, they may be put down. This is because sheep are considered livestock, and dogs that chase them are considered a threat to the flock. If your dog has a history of chasing sheep, you may be required to keep them on a leash or in a fenced area when they’re around sheep. The same applies to cows.
GREAT IDEA HAVING A DOG WITH LEGS PRONE TO BREAKAGE RUN ACROSS AN UNEVEN FIELD. RATSO STEPS IN ONE HOLE AND HE WILL BREAK HIS LEG. IDIOTS.
