Claudia Schiffer has reportedly agreed to pay out over £8,000 to the farmer

German supermodel Claudia Schiffer has reportedly agreed to pay out £8,000 after her dog killed a pregnant sheep and mauled two others.

Northamptonshire police were called to a farm in Culworth where they found the supermodel's German Shepherd covered in blood.

The pregnant ewe had to be put down following severe injuries to the neck, The Sun reports.

Farmer Alan Collet, whose sheep were attacked by Schiffer's dog, told the paper: “Claudia’s dog got into my field which is about a mile from her house. My wife rang in tears because there were sheep laying everywhere covered in blood.







“We now live in fear. The dog could do it again. All the neighbouring farmers are worried. Claudia hasn’t learned from previous incidents.”

The deal is understood to be for £8,000 on top of a £300 vets’ bill.

It is believed to be the fourth incident where her dogs have been out-of-control near livestock and other people's dogs.

Following the latest incident, which happened on 14 November, the 48-year-old has reportedly agreed to a voluntary control order issued by police.

This means she must secure her property so her dog doesn't escape.

The incident follows news of a man being sentenced to just 80 hours of community service after his dogs attacked sheep, leading the farming industry to call for harsher penalties.

And earlier this year, NFU Deputy President Guy Smith told a Parliamentary committee that attacks on livestock can disrupt decades of careful breeding and is often extremely difficult for a farm to recover from.

Rural insurer NFU Mutual recently revealed that the cost of claims related to livestock worrying has reached a record level of £1.6 million across the UK.

The figures follow the release of a report by the All Party Parliamentary Animal Welfare Group which shows more than 1,800 farm animals have been killed by dog attacks in the space of four years.
