skycat 6,173 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Done: I added as a comment ..... To blanket attack all dogs of certain breeds is in my opinion is a type of 'ethnic cleansing' which should no more be applied to dogs than to humans. Each animal should be assessed in a FAIR way: to assume a dog will turn nasty is the same as assuming a man with a gun is a homicidal maniac. The owners should also be assessed by COMPETANT people as to their suitability for owning guarding breeds. Only problem is that if they ever did assess dogs and owners, which I'm afraid I can't see them doing because of the expense, then WHO would choose the assessors? There are enough 'expert witnesses' that don't know their stuff in the courts as it is. I truly believe our society is returning to the witch hunting frenzy of the middle ages where fear rules.

skycat 6,173 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) down: This list varies according to which part of Germany you live in so you can cross the street and your legal dog suddenly becomes a banned dangerous dog! Cat.1) American Staffordshire Terrier Pitbull Terrier Staffordshire Bull Terrier Bull Terrier Neopolitan Mastiff Spanish Mastiff Dogue de Bordeux Dogo Argentino Fila Brasileiro Roman Fighting Dog Chinese Fighting Dog Bandog Tosa Inu Cat.2) Akbash Briard Beauceron Bullmastiff Dobermann Estrela Mountain Dog Komondor Kuvasz Maremma Mastiff Pyrenean Mastiff Pyrenean Mountain Dog Rottweiler Tibetan Mastiff and 15 other European herding breeds The owners of these breeds must register with the stadt, and obtain a dog handling licence. Permission to continue to own one of these dogs will be granted if the dog has shown no evidence of aggression towards people, game, livestock, cats and other dogs for more than 3 years. The dog can only be exercised by a person over 18 years, and must wear a leash and muzzle at all times. Cat.1 dogs, and those who have shown aggression, cannot be bred from under any circumstances. My understanding of the regulations is that if you can show your dog is of no danger to the public, you may be exempted from the muzzle/leash requirement. Cat.3) Any dog over 40cm/20kg. Cat.3 dogs should be on a leash in built up areas, and will be moved up to Cat.2 if they show any aggression. We're going to have to wait to see what the final regulations are. from Angela in germany additional information As of 8:00 this morning, the ruling has come down early, due to the attack and death of a six year old boy in Hamburg. The entire country of Germany has officially banned the following breeds: Pitbull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Terrier. Those now in the country can be exported out. Any dogs that remain, must take a state run temperament test. If passed: spayed/neutered. If failed: euthanasia. If you are caught breeding or buying one of these breeds, a $50,000 fine and six months jail term are imposed. The Bull Terrier is on this list in some parts of Germany as well, including the Miniature BT. In other parts, the BT must pass the temperament test (which is 3 hours long and videotaped, at a cost of $500.00 per dog) If the dog passes, the animal may be used in a breeding program, as long as the breeder is a member of the VDH. If failed: euthanasia. The Minister of the Interior for our area is going to try and separate the VDH breeders from those who breed without papers, which will save our breed. The final decision on this will come middle September. There is no fighting this in the courts. Hopefully, all of the emails, letters and faxes from around the world will help to exclude the Bull Terrier from extinction in parts of Germany. But we were warned...if another serious dog attack occurs where the injuries are life threatening or death occurs, then all of these breeds are finished. This includes the other breeds I mentioned last month (Doberman, Rottweiler, Mastiff, etc.) One region of Germany has 16 breeds on their 'Forbidden List'. These laws are now before the politicians in Sweden, Italy and Spain. With the European Union in place, it is likely most of Europe will follow Germany's decision. It is a sad day for the registered breeders of the VDH. We cannot breathe a sigh of relief yet, the BT's fate is still hanging the air in some parts of the country. In other parts, it is over. There are a total of nearly 30 dog breeds on the A, B, C list. Some face extinction, others face severe limitations. It is a terrible day for dog owners and breeders nationwide. Rudi and Cathie Dettmar The above note may be duplicated unless stated otherwise (jan cooper) mailto:jan4rott@rott-n-chatter.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Germany we have "Killing time" again. There are hot-lines were you can point out people who are Also found this: aimed at service personnel in Germany: Any person in charge of a dog on public or private land must ensure that the dog does not endanger any persons or property Dogs must be kept on a lead in parks and are not allowed in playgrounds or cemeteries. It is the reponsibility of the person in charge of a dog to ensure that the dog does not foul the pavement (except gutters) and public areas Dog owners must ensure that their dogs do not run loose or cause a disturbance by barking or howling Dogs should not be let loose in open country and may be shot in certain circumstances And we think we've got it bad over here! How much longer will be be able to even hunt legitimately with our dogs at all if Britain goes the way of /Germany? Edited July 20, 2007 by skycat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
