Are XL Bullies allowed on the fields?

We are pleased to say that our fields can still be used by XL Bullies, as long as the government rules are adhered to.

Click here to read the latest government rules.

Our fields are private land and the use of the fields are for the users exclusive use, however the car park is a shared space so muzzles and leads must be used in the car park. We would advise using the infield parking - the parking inside the locked area..

​

*The dog must be muzzled at all times until inside the field during a booked appointment, with the gate closed and locked. There must be a 1:1 handler to dog ratio. If you have more than one dog, even if not exempt there must be another handler. When these are true, the dog can run free without a muzzle. 

With regards to biosecurity the risks of using the field are the same as going for any other normal dog walk.  We cannot guarantee that all dogs exercised in the field have been vaccinated.  Equally the same applies for natural issues such as ticks and grass seeds.  The risk of ticks is very low as the field has been freshly seeded in 2021 however there is still a low risk.

​

Disclaimer

The Owner(s)/Supervisor(s) of the dog(s) use Driffield Dog Field and associated areas at their own risk.  The management does not accept liability for any accident, injury, misadventure or damage to person, animal, or property however so incurred.
