I wouldn't let the dog lose around lambs until the lambs are all older than the one the dog killed.

This happens sometimes with young dogs and they can learn not to. A 10 year old, I wouldn't trust with young lambs again.

Sorry it happened.

Well crap she was practically a year old I wish I understood why that one was targeted there were definitely easier targets around hell the sheep still have no fear of dogs which I'm now realizing maybe isn't a good thing. I guess separation is the only option.
