Feking liability and a danger to the public. Shame on those who pump them out and sell them to any twonk willing to hand over cash. In a perfect world having a dog license like a driving licence could work . You put in some time before even getting a dog and go to classes and watch people training other dogs etc and you get a general dog license that would cover golden retrievers and generic dogs . If u wanted a powerfull dog you had to do that part of the license , watch bite training with those dogs to actually see the damage they can do , learn from experienced dog owners and trainers etc I've seen opposition to that idea on here before and I can't remember why the opposition but I imagine it would spell the end for working dogs . Can't see dog licensing ever happen but the principle of people being forced to learn about what their taking on is a good one 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where I live in UK, dog licence is a legal requirement of dog ownership, but it doesn't involve anything more than letting the local council know that you own a dog. Responsibility is often lacking, as well as those who will always think that rules/responsibility don't apply to them...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The ones I saw were culls they flooded the market with them though no were near a decent bull x might of looked handy but they weren't fit for purpose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
