A very sad incident happened the other day where one of my brother's dogs was declared as a dangerous dog, this is bad anough on it's own but upon receiving a letter of the declaration it also states that no one under the age of 18 can be in sole charge of the dog. I think that this is a stupid law as i am not 18 so i now cannot walk this dog alone. Yes there is a good point to this law as it's just plain stupid to leave an apparently dangerous dog with someone who is say 12 for example but i believe this age should be lowered or there should be exceptions allowed. I think this because i can handle this dog just as well if not better than my brother so why should i no longer be allowed to walk her!? The entire time i am with this dog she acts like a complete angel and is easily controllable so i am very against this law. I think that a more appropriate age would be 16 or 17 years of age! I know i can control my dogs and i am sure there are many other people the same age as me if not younger that are just as capable!
im not actually sure of the breed as the mother got lost for about a week then turned up at the house she lives at and she was pregnant from then but the local dog catcher informs us that she is an american bulldog x rotti
Oh no, what a shame Has she actually been declared dangerous or menacing? I agree with Frenzal Bop, at least the council haven't ordered her to be destroyed - but your brother will have to be super careful as I'm sure they wouldn't hesitate to do that if any other incident occurred!
don't be so sure about that i live in a small country town and after this the dog isn't liked very much by some specific people nor is my brother so there are plenty of people who would report such a thing. It's one of the negative's of living in a small town where everyone knows everyone else and what they are doing.
