It may have been extended but I feel it is a possability that someone has their wires crossed here.
Mick.
P.S. This law has been in for well over 50 years. |
I talked to someone at dog.de and they said that in germany not all cities have a leash and muzzle law for rottweilers but some do. There is also some issues about travelling into the country who are on their "Kampfhund" figthing dog list. Especially pit bulls. They might not even let you in or give you trouble luckly a rottweiler is not on their list yet since it is in a way a german symbol.
Austria as far as she knows has a leash and muzzle law but it is not really enforced. I gotta call the austrian consulate anyways.. so I will let you know what I find out.
I honestly hope it isn`t so. I would hate to have her wear a muzzle on vacation but if there is one and even if it is not enforced I rather be safe than sorry.
Btw. My mom is a nurse and she pretty much knows those kinda things. When someone comes in with a bite wound they are the one who notify the police.
