It is the fourth attack on livestock by this breed of dog in the last fortnight which has been linked to Game of Thrones
A sheep on the Great Orme died after jumping from a ledge in a desperate bid to escape a husky attack.
The livestock attack on Sunday was the fourth involving a husky in less than two weeks.
Sergeant Rob Taylor of the North Wales Police rural crime team said the attack in Llandudno was “shocking” and added: “How many more times is this breed of dog going to be involved?
“Definitely an owner issue, but we have had so many by this breed of dog its unbelievable.”
Sgt Taylor said the husky was off the lead when it started to chase a sheep on the famous tourist spot.
The sheep then tried to escape by jumping from a ledge but died in the fall.
There are fears the surge could be simply down to an increase in ownership as the breed are popularised through smash hit TV show Game of Thrones.
On Friday a husky attacked sheep near Holyhead on Anglesey.
A sheep’s tail was ripped off by the dog.
Officers were able to identify the owner and said the rural crime team were investigating.
Earlier this month Sgt Taylor said the force were investigating the “huge” increase in husky-related livestock attacks.
Speaking to the Daily Post Sgt Taylor said: “It used to be Alsatians a lot but now every time they ring me it always seems to be a husky.”
