Exempted Dog Breed
Information!
Exempt Dogs including XL Bully's are WELCOME at Wingfield providing the following rules are followed.
Rules instructed with DEFRA and Pet Business Insurance- we are covered to hire out our private field for an XL Bully Dog on the following basis:
1. The dog is registered with the index of exempted dog (IED) and a copy of the life certificate is obtained and provided to us in the event of a claim.
2. A copy of the public liability insurance certificate for the dog is obtained and provided to us in the event of a claim.
3. The dog handler ratio is 1:1 with their handler at all times unless with other dogs from the same household
4. The dog is Neutered – in line with Government Rules
5. The dog is Micro Chipped
6. The field is private property with no public access passing through
7. The field is securely fenced so the dog cannot escape
8. The dog is kept on a lead and muzzled until the gate is shut when entering the field
9. The dog is put back on a lead and muzzled before opening the gate to leave the field
10. You can remove the lead and muzzle once inside the secured field
11. If the household has more than 1 dog, they can come to the field together as long as they have a minimum of 1 handler. All dogs leads and muzzles can be removed once in the field including the XL Bully.
12. If there are dogs from different households, the banned breed will need to remain muzzled and on a lead at all time with a 1:1 handler
You can mix households BUT your XL/banned Breed must be on a lead and with their muzzle on. Whilst I appreciate play dates are fun, the safety for your dogs is the main thing. The rules must be followed.
