Dangerous dogs across Queensland must wear a new collar from January 1 (Photo: Biosecurity Qld)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

December 15, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regulated dogs across Queensland must wear a specific type of distinctive red and yellow striped collar from January 1.<\/p>\n

Agricultural Minister Mark Furner said regulated dogs currently had to wear a distinctive collar, but the appearance was not specified and there were inconsistencies across different local government areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom January 1, 2022, all regulated dogs in Queensland must wear a collar that has red and yellow angled reflective stripes,\u201d Mr Furner said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want the same collar worn everywhere, so we all know what to look out for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regulated dogs include restricted breeds, declared dangerous dogs and declared menacing dogs.<\/p>\n

Restricted breeds are dog breeds that are not permitted to be imported into Australia.<\/p>\n

Declared dangerous and menacing dogs are dogs that have been declared by the relevant local council.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Furner said making the distinctive collar mandatory would help promote responsible management of regulated dogs and allow local government officers and community members to quickly identify a regulated dog.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are aware of a regulated dog not wearing a distinctive collar, call your local council and don\u2019t approach the dog,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The changes followed consultation with local councils.<\/p>\n

Biosecurity Queensland conducted a statewide survey of local governments on the proposed draft specifications, in partnership with the Local Government Association of Queensland and the South-East Queensland Regional Animal Management Group.<\/p>\n

All parties supported the proposal to prescribe requirements in the regulation.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dogs of any breed can be declared dangerous or menacing by an authorised local government officer if it:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Has attacked, or acted in a way that caused fear to, a person or another animal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Or may, in the opinion of an authorised person, seriously attack or act in a way that causes fear to a person or animal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Regulated dogs must be microchipped, wear an identification tag, be kept in an enclosure with a sign displayed, and be kept under effective control (ie. on a leash being held by a physically capable adult). Declared dangerous dogs and restricted dogs must also be desexed and muzzled in public.<\/p>\n

      There are five restricted breeds in Queensland:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Dogo Argentino<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Fila Brasileiro<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • Japanese Tosa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n
            • American pit bull terrier or pit bull terrier<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n
              • Perro de Presa Canario or Presa Canario<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
