Government response

We are aware that certain groups wish to see the current dangerous dogs legislation amended.  A public consultation exercise was recently carried out on the law on dangerous dogs.  We will be analysing the many responses we have received before making any decisions.

Any changes in policies will be communicated through the usual channels, including the Defra website.
