The supposed new dog law concerning category 1 and 2 dogs is a shambles and leaves owners not knowing what the hell is going on. Apparently some draft legislation went through the Senate but I cant find anywhere on the internet which confirms if this has cleared the National Assembly.
There are many new rules but the area concerning proficiency tests is very confusing and they're not even sure who will carry the tests out, where the traning will be conducted, vets are not keen on doing these and so the whole thing is descending into chaos!
On top of this one does wonder why German Shepherds are not included in the Category 2 section, the dog that statistically has injured and killed more people than any other dog over the last 20 years in France is excluded from any legislation! We have 2 rottweilers who are now totally vilified by all and sundry, just the mention of the name sends many into hysteria!
We have registered the dogs with the local mayors office, provided pedigree certificates, confirmation of third party insurance and they havent said anything about proficiency tests and they seem to be in the dark aswell. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
I think it still has to be approved by the Assemblée. I'm as lost as you at the moment.
