Today's good news story.

Meet the very handsome Bourbon.

Bourbon was initially exempted as an xl bully during the self exemption process. Sadly his owner became unwell and needed to do a transfer of keepership to a relative.

He has now been assessed by a police Dog Legislation Officer today, who has determined he is not a banned breed and does not meet enough of the criteria of any of the banned breeds.

Defra will now be informed and Bourbon can go to the family member free from all restrictions.

We wish Bourbon and his family all the very best for the future.

Today's good news story.

Meet the very handsome Chiro.

Chiro was seized after an incident. He has been held in kennels for a year whilst waiting his case going to court

Last week his case went to court and the courts granted a contingent destruction order allowing him home. Yesterday Chiro came home.

We are often asked why do families need a specialists solicitors as opposed to any good criminal law solicitor. There are many reasons why and one of those is having someone willing to not just fight for your dog but to argue costs.

In chiros case the costs requested by the prosecution was a staggering £14.980 🙈 his legal team successfully challenged the fees and they were reduced substantially to £2000

That's a reduction of £12,980.

Once again we would like to thank the legal team and barrister Marcia for a fantastic result.

We wish Chiro and his family all the very best for the future.

Meet the very handsome Major.

Major was initially self exempted but defra themselves had made mistakes which had not been corrected.

The good news is he was only seized for 2 weeks as proof was given and emails between owner and defra shown he was allowed home on the IES, Interim Exemption Scheme prior to court.

Yesterday his case went to court and the courts very satisfied have granted him exemption status.

As Major is already home his family are just waiting on the exemption papers.

We wish Major and his family all the very best for the future.
