Aggressive Dog Information

When an Aggressive Dog Incident Occurs and is Reported, the following must be adhered to:

  • Owner or person in charge of alleged aggressive dog required to immediately place the dog in a secure situation. 
  • Obtain available written statements from the complainant, the owner or handler of the dog complained of, and any witnesses.
  • Convene an Inquiry Committee as soon as possible consisting of three Show Officials, excluding officiating Judges, or, if at an Agricultural Show, three of the persons nominated on the Show Date Application as being the Dog Section Officials.
  • The Inquiry Committee is to elect a Chairman from among its membership.
  • The DOGS NSW Representative must observe, but must not otherwise participate in the Inquiry
