Owners Of Banned Breeds in Dublin, Ireland Get A Second Chance
Owners of 10 banned breeds in Dublin, Ireland are getting a second chance at lawfully keeping their pets. The ban was enacted last July and in order to get a reprieve, owners must have had their dogs before July 1st, 2007. The new plan promotes responsible pet ownership. In order to keep one of the restricted breeds, owners must license their dogs, have them neutered or spayed as well as micro-chipped by September of 2008. They also must be muzzled and always leashed when in public. The restricted breeds in Dublin are as follows: American Pit Bull Terrier, Bullmastiff, Doberman Pinscher, Bull Terrier, German Shepherd, Japanese Akita, Japanese Tosa, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Rottweiler and Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Its great they are starting to seriously promote safe and responsible ownership.
It is everyone’s rights to own a dog but they should always make sure they don’t harm others. I hate owners that are not responsible and even neglect to train their dogs.
