"The Kennel Club believes that existing breed specific legislation fails to protect the public and must be overhauled to place greater responsibility on dog owners and remove the huge welfare implications affecting dogs deemed to be of a certain type.
The Kennel Club acts as the secretariat for the Dangerous Dogs Act Study Group (DDASG), a wide-ranging group representing animal welfare, local authorities and veterinary professional organisations. The Kennel Club and DDASG have had considerable input to a carefully considered new ‘Dog Control Bill’ put forward by Lord Redesdale, currently progressing through the House of Lords. Lord Redesdale’s Bill embodies the principle of ‘deed not breed’ and opposes breed specific legislation. It also covers private property and looks to introduce ‘dog control notices’ as a means of preventing dog attacks."
