Kampfhund, vermutete Gefährlichkeit eines Hundes widerlegen

• § 1 Abs. 2 Verordnung des Sächsischen Staatsministeriums des Innern zur Durchführung des Gesetzes zum Schutze der Bevölkerung vor gefährlichen Hunden (DVOGefHundG) - Gefährlichkeitsvermutung
• Sächsisches Kostenverzeichnis, Tarifstelle 44

Application for determination of the dangerousness of a dog with proof of behaviour test and expert opinion in accordance with section 1.2.3 of the administrative regulation "Gefährliche Hunde" ( VwV GefHunde)

If you wish to keep a dog that is classified as presumed dangerous without official permission, you must disprove the presumed dangerousness of your dog by means of an expert opinion ("character test") from a recognised canine expert. The decision on the refutation of the presumed dangerousness is made by the district police authority.

Suspected dangerous dogs (so-called "fighting dogs") are representatives of the following groups and their crossbreeds with each other:

• American Staffordshire Terrier
• Bull terrier
• Pit bull terrier

Puppies and young dogs up to the age of six months are exempt.

Dogs whose suspected dangerousness has been successfully disproved are not subject to the Gesetz zum Schutze der Bevölkerung vor gefährlichen Hunden (GefHundG). The provisions of this law therefore do not apply to them.
