Is your dog on Spain's dangerous dogs list? - Spain Explained
There is a list of dogs in Spain that owners much have a licence to own. Make sure that you comply or risk a heavy fine.blog.abacoadvisers.com
This is a bit out of date but interesting.
The law is based on the assumption that it isn’t the dog that is dangerous in itself but the way that it is handled that can create a danger to others. It is the owner that must prove to the authorities in Spain that he or she is fit to be in charge of a potentially dangerous animal.
If you do need to obtain one of these licences then you should first approach your town hall to find out where the department is that you must apply to. You will be checked to see if you have a criminal record and there will be a health check that includes eye sight and strength. They will also confirm if there have been any complaints made by neighbours against you.
Oooh, now that IS interesting. Puts the onus on the owners!
