Does anyone insure their sheepdogs? I don't as a rule, but am looking to borrow a friend's dog over the summer as our best working dog is injured, but will only do it if I can insure my friend's dog.

I'd be interested to know if you find any company offering working dog insurance for vet bills. I search a few years ago and couldn't find any. dogs trust cover 3rd party liability but you may have that already on your farm policy.

Sorry I haven't been back sooner (we are lambing just now). No, I couldn't find anyone to cover vet costs.

When I had working dogs I could not get private insurance for them as I didn't own them. Then when they were retired to me, the offers from insurance companies were ludicrously high

with masses of exclusion clauses. In the end I just had to shell out for all vet costs.
