The tragic accident occurred when a power line fell on their kennel.
A falling power line killed 13 dogs in North Yorkshire on Wednesday 16 February, during Storm Dudley.
The tragic accident occurred at Cuckavalda Gundogs in Ampleforth, when a power line of 11,000 volts fell onto the dogs' kennel block, electrifying the runs and sadly resulting in the death of 13 dogs within.
Reportedly caused by a tree blowing down and taking the power line with it – the accident is being investigated by Northern Power Grid.
In a statement on Facebook, Cuckavalda Gundogs said: “Jack, Anna and Tom would like to thank everyone who have shown their concern and given help. And to Grace Lane Vets for coming out.
“At this time there is so much to do and things to sort so we ask that you do not telephone.”
The company shared a picture on Facebook taken the previous week of the dogs, and added: “This photo was taken only last week and very few of the black Labradors are still with us.
“RIP you beautiful creatures - all taken far too young - Aged between 7 months and 6 years.”
