The figures presented provide insights into various aspects of a particular subject or phenomenon. - Over 280 individuals in Brandenburg endured dog bites.
According to recent data, American Pit Bull Terriers have attacked 3 individuals. Under the dog regulations of Brandenburg, this breed is deemed harmful and their ownership is forbidden. Rottweilers and Dobermans, meanwhile, have each bitten 4 and 2 people, respectively. These dogs are also classified as hazardous according to the law, but owners can prove their pets' dependability.
Brandenburg plans to remove the list of specific breeds when it comes to keeping dogs in the future. Instead, the local oversight bodies will assess dangerousness on a case-by-case basis, most likely based on behavior. Additionally, authorities plan to expand the identification requirement to all dogs.
The Ministry of the Interior reported that 132,020 large and heavy dogs were registered last year. Only dogs with a height of 40 centimeters or weight of 20 kilograms or more fall under this requirement, meant to prevent potential danger. Smaller dogs are exempt.
