Precisely. Now, I for one want a burglar to discover my dogs' teeth. And I also want to be able to have my dogs running free in my own garden, after all, I spent a lot of money buying a reasonable sized garden for them to be able to run around in.

REALLY need to challenge this.

And read it carefully - the OWNER will not be penalised BUT that doesn't mean the dog wouldn't be PTS for biting someone who broke into your house/garden!!

So tell me exactly how it will enable police to take action before someone is hurt?

[quote=Who me ?]few years ago , my mate at the time had a GS. Person was fleeing police and went down side of house. GS tried to attack ,but failed. Owner was worried. Official police response was that dog was on guard, and intruder had no right to intrude, so if dog got person fleeing police, dog would have been seen as doing it's job.

Yes that would have been a time when it was sensible, this law will change all that. In effect practically a burglars charter.

I hope every dog owner in the UK writes to their MP about this.
