Dublin Council Bans 11 Dog Breeds
In a move which is set to send shockwaves throughout the dog
owning community, Dublin City Council has announced that it is
banning with immediate effect, 11 popular pet dog breeds.
The breeds to be banned are:
English Bull Terrier

American Pit Bull Terrier
Rottweiler
German Shepherd
Doberman
Rhodesian Ridgeback

The ban only applies to dog owners living in council housing in
the city. In light of increasing numbers of complaints from
council residents, the council have opted to ban the breeds. It

above breeds.
If the dogs can not be provided with alternative accommodation
