5 ELHAM ALL SORTS OUT FOR A WALK ON THE MINNIS
DO I NEED AN IDENTITY TAG? Want to order one now?
The short answer is YES YOU DO. The 1992 Control of dogs act requires that every dog whilst is a highway or public resort must wear a collar with the name and address of the owner inscribed on it or on a plate or badge attached to it. A public highway is a road or other way over which the public have the right to pass to and fro; it need not necessarily be maintained by a highway authority. A Place of public resort has been said to mean a place to which the public goes as a mater of fact, as distinct from a matter of right, and notwithstanding that a charge is made for admission.
In this context, for example, the Minnis is a Public resort and the tracks across it are highways.
An inscribed identity tag (badge or plate) attached to a collar or an inscription on the collar itself are required even if the dog is microchipped. There are some exceptions relating to working, rescue, armed forces and Customs & excise dogs. If in doubt consult the Dog Warden at your local Council.
The maximum fine for not complying is £5000
(Five Thousand Pounds).
