Dangerous Dogs Act


• Section 1 of the Act stipulates that owners of the ‘type of dog known as a pit bull terrier’ and three other breed types (Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Braziliero) must fulfill certain strict requirements. These requirements include keeping the dog muzzled and on a lead at all times whilst in a public place, having the dog micro-chipped, keeping the dog insured against third party liability and having the dog neutered with the aim that these types of dogs would eventually become extinct in the UK. The dog also had to have its details registered on the Index of Exempted Dogs maintained by DEFRA on behalf of the Government. 

Owners of these types of dogs could no longer give away or sell their dogs. Unless the requirements were met, keeping such a dog in the UK would become illegal and any person who owned a prohibited type dog would be committing an offence unless the dog had been registered on the Index. Owners were offered the option of accepting a token compensation from the Government if they chose to have their dogs voluntarily destroyed.



Possible Propositions:

  • How to look after the dog in order for it not to get put down, etc
  • Readjust the law so that dogs can be re-homed.
