A cross between an am staff and a malinois that I got from the shelter. (he was 9 months old at the time and had had little socialization) to which the agent reacts sternly: you do know that american stafford and crossbreeds have to wear a muzzle in public places?? that can cost you a 50 euro fine! \nto which I react rather surprised: uhm my dog ​​has no aggressive past, has never bitten anyone, and always walks on a leash. (Viggo reacted enthusiastically to the horses and wanted to investigate but no aggression. He did not growl, did not bark at them... only made a somewhat squeaking sound because he was previously insecure. He had never seen a horse before.\n Can the police put a muzzle on my dog ​​because he is an american stafford crossbreed? and he apparently looks aggressive? :s (which I find rather subjective)\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n It depends on where you live.\n\n Some municipalities (Dordrecht, Leiden) have a muzzle requirement for certain breeds of dogs and their crossbreeds, in the General Local Regulation. It does not matter whether the dog is aggressive or not. You are then obliged to muzzle the dog and keep it on a short leash.\n\n In municipalities where this is not the case, the mayor and aldermen can impose a muzzle or leash ban on a case-by-case basis or at the request of those involved.\n \nA quick Google search reveals that the American Staffordshire Bull Terrier is considered a problem dog.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55015146488157,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-25280-beste-tijdens-een-wandeling-in-het-park-komen-mijn-hond-en-ik-twee-politieagenten-te-paard-tegen","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
