As above . Am I allowed to buy some guard dogs and keep them on commercial land? If it's fenced all way round no way of dogs getting out ? Or do u need a license?

Only if its on public land. If someone comes into your garden without your permission, then its their fault.

Locked up? Over an acre to free roam with another dog? Sounds better to me than been a pet lOcked in a kitchen all day .

Obviously youll have some sort of kennell as well. Fit a couple of kitchen worktops in it and theyll just think theyre in your house.

Course you can have dogs. Only the same as keeping a dog at your house.

I mean you're only fucked if it bites someone on public land Baza. If its private then it's not your fault.
I read a story a while ago about a postman being bitten by a dog. The dogs owner was saying the postman was in the garden, because if thats the case it's the victim fault for being there without permission.

Never know in todays world, people break in to houses then claim they were attacked.
Who's to say what's a guard dog and what's just a normal family pet ?
Loads of family pets are very protective of their owners, don't see the problem to have dog on your own land

I always imagine the difference being that a guard dog is trained like Santa's Little Helper in The Simpsons when Mr Burns uses him as one, getting constantly punched in the face and generally pissed off so that it'll attack anything that moves

If it's on your land, private or public, and it bites someone, with or without permission to be there, you're still looking at the dog being destroyed and a canny court case. It's a bit of a grey area, dealt with several in the police, known them go either way. You have to put up signs etc to proactively warn everyone that the dogs are present

So if signs are up it's ok . Realistically unless the person is killed then I can hardly see them calling police . If they are there they are clearly trespassing . 8ft security fencing around perimeter and no way in apart from a gate. Do you work for police?

Used to. I wouldn't say you'd be ok if this was the case, but you'd certInly have a good argument. Police aside we had someone break into our house few years ago, dog bit them, they tried to sue us. Said they'd accidentally dropped something through the letter box and were breaking in to get it back it has been known for blatant burglaries to end in the dog being destroyed. Like I say, it's a grey area.

You'd be surprised of the rights the general public seem to have when wandering about other peoples land.

Not a grey area at all. Rules are laid out clearly
