Without Googling can anyone name the 10 breeds on the Restricted Breeds List under the Control of Dogs Act 1998?Just for fun (no debate). I didnt know them all until i googled today.

Go....

The Sweeper

Without Googling. I'd assume in no particular order

1) American pitbull terrier
2) Staffordshire bull terrier
3) English bull terrier
4) Rottweiler
5) German Shepherd
6) Akita
7) Tosa Inu
8) Presa Canario
9) American Bulldog
10) Cane Corso

And I'm willing to bet there are some of my choices that aren't even on that list... but I'm assuming Ireland has no outright banned breeds, am I right?

Also in no particular order!

Doberman
Some line about pitbull / pitbull mixes
Staffidshore bull terrier
English bull terrier
Rottie
GSD
Akita
R. Ridgeback
Bull mastiff
J. Toso

Oh, I'm wrong. But I thought greyhounds had to wear muzzles anyway right?

Eh, no, racing greyhounds generally wear muzzles because the person walking them usually has too many dogs with them to be able to do anything about it if one them picks up and tries to eat something it shouldn't. Coursing greyhounds have to wear muzzles in competitions so I guess they put them on to get them used to wearing them.

I think they do have to be muzzled when there are 4 or more being walked by one person

Here's my question for the pop quiz. Without googling; on average, which is the heaviest breed of dog?

cjf

I'd reckon one of the mastiffs maybe the wrinkly face one ( can't spell the n word!) or the English mastiff saw a couple at pet expo last year they are monsters!! All muscle and bone!

Id say St. Bernard or Great Dane.

are you serious

heaviest dog... sarplaninac? have seen video's of these on youtube, monsters is the word that comes to mind

Shanao

English Mastiff is on average the heaviest with the St Bernard a close second. Males can weigh between 160-250 pounds, though some have been known to weigh over 300 pounds. The biggest mastiff weighed 343pounds, over 154kgs/24 stone!!:p
