After Bite Incident Near Trier: Owner of Dangerous Dog Must Surrender Pet - Court Orders Surrender of Staffordshire Bull Terrier After Repeated Attacks
A court in Trier has ordered the surrender of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix after classifying it as a dangerous dog. The ruling follows repeated incidents where the animal roamed unleashed and attacked another dog. The owner’s appeal was rejected, leaving him with limited legal options. The case centred on a terrier mix whose dangerous classification had already been confirmed under Rhineland-Palatinate’s regulations. These rules require such dogs to be kept in secure confinement. However, the owner had failed to demonstrate reliability in controlling the animal. The decision means the dog must now be handed over to authorities. The owner’s failure to secure the animal led to the court’s ruling. Under current law, the dog cannot remain in his care without a successful appeal.
