PS : anyone selling you a dog if you have no licence would be fined.

Re: Stricter dog controls
Just re-read the first post. Our Council is very anti-dog and there are very few open spaces. Consequently I have to get a train out of the area to walk my dogs every day. The idea that this council would be able to tell me how many and what breed / size of dog I could keep horrifies me.11-03-2010, 01:21 PM

Things have got so bad due to apathy on the part of the government that decent dog owners are being victimised.
There have been five fatalities the last few years and every one of them was preventable.
Irresponsible breeders who breed designer dogs like labradoodles should be shot, all they're doing is bastardising two lovely breeds in the name of conning the public and making cash.
I've had dogs all my life and I'm appalled at the lack of control over these "breeders", . . it's them who're responsible for overcrowding in rescue centres, . . I resigned from the Scottish rottie club 2 years ago because some of the breeders there are just as bad when it comes to a follow up after selling a puppy IMO.
Regarding Staffies, . . the drug dealers use them in their nefarious ways like a gun, . . they're small and cheap to feed and once the dogs have outlived their usefulness the poor souls are thrown out into the street, . . microchipping would end all this and so would the licences I've suggested.
