Shenzhen has expanded its list of dog breeds banned as pets to a total of 38, with 14 new additions announced in the latest version of a government gazette released Wednesday.
The decision to ban the keeping as pets of certain aggressive breeds of dogs is driven by public safety concerns and aims to reduce the incidence of serious and sometimes fatal attacks on both residents and other animals, according to the gazette.
Notably, the Bedlington Terrier is an exception and has been removed from the previous list of banned breeds.
The Shenzhen Municipal Administration of Market Regulation, which was responsible for compiling the list, said that temperament, behavior, socialization potential and general social acceptance of the dog breeds were taken into account. They also drew on the experience of other cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Owners of previously registered pets that are on the newly added list should keep their dogs out of the restricted areas, or use the city’s dog rescue centers for their care.
According to Shenzhen's pet management regulations, certain urban areas, including residential, commercial and industrial zones, are off limits to these banned breeds.
While calling for responsible pet ownership and appropriate care for all dogs, the authority highlights the importance of training, care, and socialization in preventing aggression in any dog.
Since 2006, dog owners in Shenzhen have been mandated to register their pet dogs in the city’s dog management system. In 2019, the city introduced microchipping for pet dogs to help track lost or stolen pets and deter irresponsible dog abandonment.
