To reduce the number of sheep and lamb that are lost due to uncontrolled dogs, we have installed new signs to alert walkers of sheep in the fields crossed by two very well used footpaths.
Alongside this, every Thursday through the summer, two of our members hold working sheepdog demonstrations on their farm at Postbridge so that visitors and locals can learn more about hill farming and to encourage responsible dog ownership.
Working with the Dartmoor Hill Farm project they also run sheepdog handling courses, to train the next generation of sheep farmers how to train their dogs.
