#2 Yorkshire has always had a reputation for feistiness ever since the Vikings founded York. No doubt in-settlers have diluted that among the humans, but it's not surprising that the sheep would cop an attitude. Especially when lured by the wonderful gardents that flourish in that cool, damp weather.

Have only hiked the Yorkshire moors once, but they were lovely. And the sheep were definitely homies back then, too LOL.

#3 even if they see a dog they are not frightened

Of FooFoo barking out the back window, probably not. And not of you either, because they will engage a good solicitor and sue if you cause mental anguish of any kind. Heh.

A good sheep-working border collie would have them bunched and moving back to the moors stat, though. Love to watch them work.

#7 I am a native of neighboring Cumbria and spent quite a bit of time in Yorkshire as a youngster. Londoners think of this as the part of the map that was formerly left blank and inscribed "here be dragons."
I remember a visiting cousin who was surprised to find automobiles and television sets in our quaint nether-world of fog and weird goings-on.
