This is Kush who was seized by police as a pit bull type dog. The prosecution said his owner was not a fit and proper person to be his registered keeper due to having a young child and a baby on the way. We obtained an independent expert assessment of Kush and the expert agreed that he was a pit bull type. We put forward an alternative keeper for Kush but the prosecution also objected to them and sought a destruction order. We were able to convince the court that the new keeper was a fit and proper person and a contingent destruction order was granted to the new keeper.

Courage is an exempted XL bully whose owner sadly died in January. Since then Courage has been cared for his owner's partner who approached us to help her legally transfer Courage into her name.
A long delay in the court process meant that the case was not heard until last week but the court were satisfied that Courage did not pose a danger to the public and that his new keeper was a fit and proper person and allowed the transfer of keepership.
To Courage and his lovely new keeper we know that this has been a very difficult year so far and we send you all our very best wishes for the future.
We also send our thanks to DDA Watch for their help and support with this case.

FYI - keepership of an exempted dog can only be transferred to someone else if the original keeper dies or becomes seriously ill and unable to look after the dog. In such cases keepership can be transferred to anyone provided they are a fit and proper person.
