A DOG behaviourist has admitted to being the owner of two Rottweilers which killed and injured a number of lambs at a farm near Leominster.
Judge Abbas Mithani told Charles Ross-Robertson, of Stanton Lacy, near Ludlow, that a custodial sentence would not be out of the question after the 64-year-old pleaded guilty to two counts of being the owner of a dog being dangerously out of control in a public place at Hereford Crown Court today.
Armed police were called in after the two dogs caused carnage on a farm in Risbury in September last year. More than 35 lambs were killed or injured in the attack, while others remained missing.
The court heard that the Crown Prosecution Service intended to apply for an order to destroy the dogs, which were seized by police following the incident.
Ross-Robertson will be sentenced on March 14.
