Stop Innocent Dogs Being Discriminated Due To Appearencev Thanks To The Dangerous Dogs Act.

Additional Information

Under the current legislation your dog only has to appear to be of a given type. That is to say, if your dog looks like a pitbull it may be liable to be destroyed under the Dangerous Dogs Act. It doesn’t matter if you have papers from the breeder to show the dog’s heritage. The law is based upon appearance as determined by a court. If your dog looks like a dangerous dog breed, then you may have to go to court to avoid having it taken from you and destroyed.
