I have made my views on dogs and how they should all be chipped and DNA finger printed at the owners costs several times an here. I still think it is the only way to control them and dog fouling as many owners are not responsible enough.
A good friend of mine has a couple of Staffies, well looked after and behaved dogs, they are very strong though and would drag most 14 year olds down the road if they wanted.
The dog laws in this country are a joke and always have been. Lets hope this government will sort it out where previous ones have let us down. Don't hold your breath though because dog owners vote and it would be bad for re election.

I totally agree with your sentiments Niel but when, in some cases, you struggle to get people to pick up after their dogs, what chances do you stand, government legislation or not to make this happen
