Procedure descriptions

Keeping a fighting dog - apply for a licence

You need a licence to keep a fighting dog that is older than six months.

Fighting dogs are dogs that can be assumed to be highly aggressive and dangerous towards people or animals. Dogs of the breeds and groups "American Staffordshire Terrier", "Bull Terrier" and "Pit Bull Terrier" and their crossbreeds are presumed to be fighting dogs. This categorisation is based on the Fighting Dog Ordinance.

Dogs of other breeds are only deemed to be fighting dogs if the local police authority has determined that they are fighting dogs.

Note: The Fighting Dogs Ordinance is intended to protect the population from the dangers that can emanate from fighting dogs. Therefore, the keeping of fighting dogs is only permitted with an official licence. The requirements for such a licence are very strict. In very few cases will they be met.

Please note: If you are granted a licence to keep a fighting dog, you must always have this licence or a certified copy of the licence with you.

Details

Prerequisite

  • Justified interest in keeping a fighting dog
    You must demonstrate a need that cannot be adequately met by dogs without fighting dog status.
  • Reliability
    Reliability may be lacking, for example, if you
    • have a criminal record for certain offences or
    • have repeatedly behaved in a disorderly manner,
    • are addicted to alcohol or drugs or
    • are unable to drive the animal due to physical circumstances.
  • Expertise
    The dog must not pose a danger to people or animals when kept and managed. You must therefore have the appropriate knowledge and skills.
  • Dangers to life, health, property or possessions must be excluded.
    No recognisable dangers may arise from keeping the dog.
  • The dog must have unalterable and legible labelling. This must enable the owner to be identified and the dog to be unmistakably identified.
  • Special liability insurance

Note: There may be other regulations and statutes of the city or municipality that may deny you a licence deny you a licence.
