slimsid2000 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Perhaps both dog and owner should be on a leash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas1 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 If it has attacked your dog, then you're entitled to claim vets fees back from the owner. Take some photos etc... Other than this if it's dog on dog there's nothing you can do. My own dog was savaged by two terriers - luckily after surgery she survived it. The same pair had previously gone for a bitch who was due to give birth - she lost all her pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Dogs are so easily to socialise - its totally unnecessary for this sort of thing. We're doing it at the moment with a pup and she's loving every minute of being with other dogs and people. She's now started taking younger pups under her wing! For me, its back to reintroducing the licence and making the annual fee a big one and maybe include some sort of 3rd party insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Maiden Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 http://www.doglaw.co.uk/ Here, an interesting paragraph is: Q.My dog has attacked a dog. Am I liable? A.Unless there was a person present who would reasonably fear that they were going to be injured, then there can be no offence under Section 3 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. Proceedings could be taken under Section 2 of the Dogs Act 1871, as the Courts have ruled that a dog which is dangerous to other dogs can be regarded as dangerous. A damages claim could be brought if it could be proven that you were in some way negligent, or that you were aware that your dog had this characteristic. This is worth a look.... http://www.steeleraymond.co.uk/legal_services/201_dog_law.php And this is a brief explanation of dog walking law, although there's nothing about dog-dog aggression http://countrysideaccessforum.hants.org.uk/walking/walkingdoglaw.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
