Without Googling can anyone name the 10 breeds on the Restricted Breeds List under the Control of Dogs Act 1998?Just for fun (no debate). I didnt know them all until i googled today.

Go....

The Sweeper

Without Googling. I'd assume in no particular order

1) American pitbull terrier
2) Staffordshire bull terrier
3) English bull terrier
4) Rottweiler
5) German Shepherd
6) Akita
7) Tosa Inu
8) Presa Canario
9) American Bulldog
10) Cane Corso

And I'm willing to bet there are some of my choices that aren't even on that list... but I'm assuming Ireland has no outright banned breeds, am I right?

cjf

Also in no particular order!

Doberman
Some line about pitbull / pitbull mixes
Staffidshore bull terrier
English bull terrier
Rottie
GSD
Akita
R. Ridgeback
Bull mastiff
J. Toso

Oh, I'm wrong. But I thought greyhounds had to wear muzzles anyway right?

Eh, no, racing greyhounds generally wear muzzles because the person walking them usually has too many dogs with them to be able to do anything about it if one them picks up and tries to eat something it shouldn't. Coursing greyhounds have to wear muzzles in competitions so I guess they put them on to get them used to wearing them.

I think they do have to be muzzled when there are 4 or more being walked by one person

Shanao

Used to have this printed up in the practice when I was doing veterinay nursing.:D

Here's my question for the pop quiz. Without googling; on average, which is the heaviest breed of dog?

cjf

I'd reckon one of the mastiffs maybe the wrinkly face one ( can't spell the n word!) or the English mastiff saw a couple at pet expo last year they are monsters!! All muscle and bone!

Id say St. Bernard or Great Dane.

are you serious

heaviest dog... sarplaninac? have seen video's of these on youtube, monsters is the word that comes to mind

Shanao

English Mastiff is on average the heaviest with the St Bernard a close second. Males can weigh between 160-250 pounds, though some have been known to weigh over 300 pounds. The biggest mastiff weighed 343pounds, over 154kgs/24 stone!!:p

Shanao

Rottie's in there at either eight or nine Garkane from what I can remember

Am I allowed to use google translator? Or would it even do me any good?

Shanao

Google translate would give it away alright. How about a guess at classification then- as in terrier, hound, molosser, retriever etc?

On a side note, its pronounced Heart Polski

Nope it gives ya the exact answer...;)

Cherry Blossom

Too late, I already did it

Shanao

Cheating!! The insolence!!:p

Here's one that quite a few people I've met dont actually know, despite having the breed in question. Where did the golden retriever originate from?

are you serious

The most expensive? (just googled for this one WOW!!)

Shanao

Off the top of my head, it was a tibetan mastiff I think?

Cherry Blossom

Based on it's close relation to the lab, I guess Newfoundland

ah jez one at a time, I'm easily confused at this time of day!

are you serious

ok ok, i'm going to ask have you got google in your head shanao?

Ha im feeling particularly thick here. I dont know any of them

Shanao

Like I said, i do way to much reading up about dogs. I spotted that article about a month ago. Beautiful looking dogs, but 1.5 million for a dog!! Bloody hell.

are you serious

Tibetan Mastif sold for £1 million as an 11 month old pup!!! :eek:

Yeah I'm pretty sure I got this one right now :pac:

<ETA>Too late with the multiple choice answers

Actually never would have guessed that!

Shanao

Not many people would. Almost everyone I've said it to thinks they're from Newfoundland as well.

So, anyone else got a question?
