Section one of the Dangerous Dogs Act, introduced by the government in 1991, bans four breeds of dogs in the UK. (Image: Getty Images)The act states that it's against the law to own a banned dog, as well as sell, abandon, give away or breed a banned dog under the Breed Specific Legislation. But what if I own a banned breed? If you have a banned dog the police or council warden can take it away, even if it's not acting dangerously or there has not been a complaint. Once in court the owner will have to prove it is not a banned type.
