Eternal peace and happiness of everyone within the county. Except people I don't like, they can be mauled by Alexander from Meerkovo.

Councils that consult, in a democratic manner, and represents the taxpayers.
Councils that represent the majority not the few.
Councils that carry out the agenda of the taxpayers not of the National party.
Last but not least some councillors with common sense who will say no when required!

For dogs I presume.

If I got a black and white dog would the license cheaper?

I don't see why you could not license by breed and size. The more aggresive breeds could be more expensive to own. This may encourage people to buy more 'people friendly' breeds of dogs.

I know the argument is that owners make a dog but if you had a labrador running toward you or a rottweiler which would you feel more safe with?

Neither are harmless!

[Nothing Much]

I think ladies in skirts are sometimes worried by the attentions of labradors.
I have certainly had my knees b+++++ed by one which is a bit tricky in company.
Especially as I was clasping a G&T at the same time.
Should the IQ of a dog be factored in. (Or the owner for that matter).

It must take a lot of training to get a dog to look so forlorn as it sits on cardboard by an ATM.

I would imagine most people who are currently going with the aggressive type of status dogs, would ignore the requirement for licensing.

Most labradors and most rottweilers are harmless - though more of the latter breed are aggressive than the former.

Naturally aggressive?

[blackdog]

Naturally aggressive?

Interesting point - certainly rottweilers are much more likely to be bought by those wanting an aggressive dog and hence more likely to be trained/encouraged to be aggresive.
