Some people bring PACKS of 4 and 6 - for their 'ablutions'.
That level of ownership must be for profitable breeding purposes and should be restricted to rural areas. I would hate to live next door to 6 dogs.

Margaret i once owned 5 but i most cetainly didnt own them for breeding and earning a living out of them,yes i showed and i bred from breed standard health tested bitches but only two of them.what it cost me in having a litter i was lucky to break even on two occasions.
I have my dogs chipped.tattooed and are insured,chipped because if i was to loose one i know if found its easier to reunite with me,tattooed same reason but more so if found by some unsavourly characture.mine are all insured for health reasons alongside 3rd party god forbid one of mine would attack but i consider myself a responsible dog owner so if the unthinkable ever did happen im insured.im not sure about how this law if brought in will be policed im all in favour of any laws that stop the mass breeding of dangerous dogs or bull breeds but im also in favour of any breeder having to have a licence to breed and the breeder will have to sit a interview as to why breed.I honestly wouldnt sell any of my puppies to just anyone and more so the hoodie brigade,all my new owners are vetted and i question them no end as to why they want one of my puppies,ive been known to take a deposit then refund it.Any law concerning dogs suits me because i will abide by it.i always had a licence which i think my last one was about 35p.
The dangerous dogs act of 1991
The 4 dogs on the list of banned dogs under the dangerous dogs act of 1991, (amended 1997) are American Pit Bull Terriers, Dogo Argentinos, Fila Brazilieros and Japanese Tosas. none of which are UK breeds but why can't the same be said about Rottweilers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers? They are not banned, but they have a very bad reputation, especially with children, which hasn’t been helped by children being killed by some of these dogs.Rottie and staffie owners will argue that their dogs are soft and gentle most are but in the wrong hands any dog is a killer
