Dangerous Dogs

Ok I have written about big dogs, little dogs, beautiful dogs and ugly dogs now I am looking at dangerous dogs, and yeah I know and believe that any dog can act  in a dangerous way, it isn’t black and white so don’t shoot me if you disagree this is what information I found online.

A dangerous dog usually means a dog that has seriously attacked, bitten, or threatened a person or animal, or is officially classified that way under local law. The law can be different depending on your country, state or local council.

There are usually laws that state what is considered a dangerous dog. Many animal experts argue that training, socialisation, treatment, and owner responsibility matter more than breed alone.

Things that are looked at when declaring a dog dangerous are things like has the dog

Attacked or injured a person

Attacked or killed another animal

Acted in a way that causes a reasonable fear of serious harm or has been declared dangerous by a local council or animal control authority.

In many places, once a dog is declared dangerous, the owner may have to follow strict rules such as:

secure fencing or enclosure

muzzle and leash requirements

warning signs on the property

special registration or permits

limits on where the dog can go

In many places, a dog is classified as dangerous based more on its behaviour and history than its breed, however, some places have breed-specific laws or restrictions that often target breeds such as:

Pit Bull Terriers or pit bull–type dogs

American Staffordshire Terriers

Staffordshire Bull Terriers

Rottweilers

Dobermans

German Shepherds

Fila

Japanese Tosas

Dogo Argentinos

Presa Canarios

So do you consider any of these dogs as dangerous, I have always thought of Pit Bulls and Rottweilers as dangerous but I also know people who have owned Rottweilers and the dog has not been dangerous.

Now many years ago people referred to our dog “Dot Dot” as dangerous and vicious this is “Dot Dot”.
