The Doberman is being added to the list of dangerous breeds in the region

The residents of Andalucía have six months to hand over or get rid of their strange pets. New legislation in the region is set to prohibit crocodiles or large reptiles, monkeys, spiders or poisonous insects, and lions being kept as personal pets. The new rules say such animals can no longer be kept at home.

And new restrictions on the ownership of dogs considered to be of a dangerous breed are also on the way. The Doberman is being added to the list of dangerous dogs and that means that a muzzle will always have to be placed on the dog when in the street, which will also have to be kept on a lead of less than 1 metre in length. Owners will have to keep the dog’s documentation on them in public, and they will not be allowed entry to places where there are children.

Owners have until October to adapt to the new legislation.
