Dog License.

kneemos

Curious about how many actually buy a dog license?
It is the law of the land after all,but I suspect a lot of people wouldn't believe you if you told them there is such a thing.

Well, my dog has one.

Can you buy a license and not have a dog . I see an opportunity to get one up on the government.

whats a dog license for those uninitiated?

Mrs Garth Brooks

Its to allow them to drive.

Have had dogs all my life
Never had a license
See also TV License, if something is nonsense it deserves to be ignored

I do however agree with Property Tax & Water Charges, I can see how they are justified

TheSheriff

Is there anything to be said for another water charges thread?

You might as well tax the dog house too then. Tax someone's home is a joke.

Don't have a dog, but parents do and have a license. They have had an inspector call to the door twice too.

Buried my dog on Wednesday He was part of our household for 13 years. A guard dog, friend, pet. He was knocked down and left on the side of the road, died when we put him into his bed at home. Heart broken.

Eh... No they don't!
Never heard of anyone being asked for their licence by a vet.

Had one for our dog of 12 years, and an inspector (?) called one day asking for it. Didn't think they were policed to be honest, so was surprised to hear he'd called to my parents house.

Was the pooch causing trouble in the area?

Nope, we live out in the country and the neighbours would have told us if there were any problems. He was a small, dopey dog that was fenced in if we weren't around, and rarely left the garden unless with one of us. Turns out someone earlier in the thread mentioned inspectors calling to their house too, so it musn't be that rare!

The Backwards Man

The licence is the reason I only ever have black and white dogs

A little gem I found when researching family history: my great-grandfather was done more that 100 tears ago. The charge: "Defendant had on the 22nd day of April 1905 had in your possession or custody at xxx in said district and county, one dog not duly registered or licensed in accordance with provisions of Dogs Regulation Act 1865."

He was fined two shillings and sixpence.
