What People are Saying About The Dog Ownership Suitability Test

Since launching the draft proposal on the 7th March 2008, various dog related forums have been lightly discussing some of the pros and cons of the Dog Ownership Suitability Test.Here are a selection of threads (open for public viewing) discussing the proposal:The Refuge Discusses Dog Owner Suitability TestI am sorry but I had to laugh [...]

I am all for any laws that will promote resonsible dog ownership but I can't help but think that this law will again only apply to law abiding people and who would monitor this???

I am seeing more and more "kids" walking around my area with staffs, Akitas and Rotties as status dogs, it makes me sick as these are all great breeds being handled in the wrong way and who pays the price...the dog!! I can't see these going to classes etc can you?

Know exactly what you mean, i see it here too Young teen was walking about with a Rottie, well i say walking But he had it on a cheap flimsy extendable lead, which would just to say hold a yorkshire terrier was not strong enough for the power this rottie had, a big thing it was.

Anyhow it litrally pulled this lad on his backside trying to get at rocky, Now i dont like rotties as a breed as it is, its just me i dont trust them i know they can be cracking dogs in the right hands but how often is that these days?

Really annoyed me, he shouldnt have a dog of that power on a long leesh when he has that little control over it.

and theres your effect on other dogs instantly, i distrust Rotties even more now and whenever i see one i call Rocky him to me.

Can you imagine people's response when they meet Ben, a 2yr GSD from next door (bigggggg Boy!) being walked by an 8yr boy. Ben is gentle but he could still react to circumstances around him.

I can cope with Staffys and rotties etc. My problem is with the little yappy, snappy terriers! The blighters know I'm scared and go for me and my furbabies even more!!!
