    Whats the situation I wonder if you have an alsation and somebody breaks in. If the dog goes for him is the homeowner going to be liable as it was previously.

    I'd imagine you'd have to have a sign up saying "Beware of Dog" if it's on the list of controlled dogs:

    American pit bull terrier
    English bull terrier
    Staffordshire bull terrier
    Bull mastiff
    Dobermann pinscher
    German shepherd (Alsatian)
    Rhodesian ridgeback
    Rottweiler
    Japanese akita
    Japanese tosa
    Bandog

    Probably not necessary, but would give you that extra bit of cover. You never know with the legal system in this country!
