According to a report in last weekend's Mail on Sunday, documents leaked from Defra have revealed proposals for a range of measures designed to reduce the risk from dangerous dogs.
The proposals reportedly include:
The first of these looks like being a bit of a non-runner. Aside from the subjective nature of deciding what makes a competent owner, the cost is disproportionate to the size of the problem: 703 convictions for dangerously out of control dogs in 2007. The other two seem long overdue.

I really do think alot of these problems are down to owners but also the breeders of these animals, it should be restricted, due to teh credit crunch selling puppies is easy money, there are too many in rescue homes and too many being bred, I have a staffie and he is amazing a stray.There needs to be law and regualations on breeding as litrally any one is allowed to breed, potentailly causing more medical problems etc...ahh what a nightmare!!!xx
