Victorian Dangerous Dog Legislation And Does It Have An Effect On Bree

[Yesmaam]

This may have been covered previously but I was thinking about the breed surveys and if the dangerous dog legislation effects the aggitation part of the breed survey's in Victoria.

Do you think it would be illegal under the current legislation to provide an aggitation test to see if a dog reacts to a threat?

Technically, a dog that lunges forward and shows aggression could be declared as dangerous couldn't it?

Now this also leads me to another point of the GSDCV exemption. If they are exempt from this due to a GSDCV breed survey being a VCA sanctioned event, apart from sending mixed signals to the wider community, how does this effect other breed clubs in Victoria that hold "courage tests" using an aggressor in their breed surveys?

Maybe all the relevant breed and sport clubs need to sit down together to formulate some kind of argument against this part of the legislation.
