There for not being an issue in any of your sheep proposals.
Perhaps you should post all the sheep proposals you have in your posession for us to reveiw.
There is ways that it will work. But when guys can only find the negative and not look for solutions then nothing can be accomplished.
Looks like certain guys just dont want this to go through and will find any small excuse on why it cant be acomplished

Yeah, that's pretty much been my position from the start. There has to be clearly defined guidelines in order for something like this to be considered.
Responsible dog owners on here have already stated that their dogs are well trained and heel, stay, etc on command and and will do it anyway. Their dogs will stay with them and not wander away so, I don't understand why the same people would be opposed to having clear regs demanding the same high standards for other dog owners.
It almost seems like there is something more sinister going on when people claim that something is going to be done a certain way but they are opposed to that way becoming the set standard in a regulation.
