Marz At 13 Months

[persephone]

not obliging to a dog being ceased?

sorry , I'm confused..what are you asking?

[ruthless]

Marz is registered. He's just asking what would happen if council refused to let him renew next year and then tried to seize his dog and he wouldn't let them.

I think that's a really worst case scenario. Just keep him registered and keep him out of trouble, socialised, obedience trained, etc. and you won't draw any attention him.

Yes he is registered, has been from a pup. I don't see a problem with his registration renewal but what i was asking is more about refusing to allow your dog to be seized. I'm not sure about others but i could not allow my dog to be taken and murdered. I would rather the legal consequence over the guilt, but then again that is getting a little bit dark and far fetched.

Vent over...

My understanding of the law is it's not a matter of refusing to allow the dog to be seized (unless you're talking about an armed siege situation ) It is illegal to own an unregistered dog "of type" in the same way it is illegal to own drugs - both can be seized under the law and if you resist you could be arrested and the dog/drugs would be seized anyway.

Yes I understand what you mean - you wouldn't just hand your boy over and forget him, but you really need to understand how serious the situation could become.

Yeah i realise so but he is registered, like i have said. I was just curious as to how the council would seize a dog they deemed to be restricted, even if the dog was currently registered.
