22 Category 3:


Dogs that reach a shoulder height of 40 cm or greater or weigh 20 kg (or more) when fully grown. For futher information about the Registration process for Category 3 dogs, please contact the HCSO prior to arrival.


ALL dogs must wear a disc bearing the licence number (obtained once registration with the HCSO is complete), have a microchip implanted, be in possession of a valid European Pet Passport (see below) and must be registered with a Veterinary Surgeon. It remains the responsibility of all dog owners to keep the animal under control at all times. Dogs found straying by the RMP or German Civilian Police will be impounded at the local Tierheim (animal shelter). All dogs are to be kept on a lead at all times in public places or within built-up areas. All dogs must be accompanied by the owner, or other person over 18. For categories 1 and 2, anyone handling these dogs must be authorised to do so. For the purpose of the law, BFG barracks, office workplaces, outside areas of mess accommodations and any other location where non-BFG personnel have access are to be considered as public places. In open country dogs must be kept under proper control. Game wardens have considerable rights, which may include shooting the dog if it is considered not to be under control. Further general instructions for keeping dogs in BFG can be found in SO BF(G) 3208 (Discipline) and 3360 (Veterinary).


THIRD PARTY LIABILITY INSURANCE. All owners of Categories 1, 2 and 3 dogs are legally required to hold third party liability insurance for these dogs. It is strongly recommended that all other owners of dogs take out third party liability insurance, for their own protection.


DE-REGISTRATION. When personnel are posted from BFG they must de-register


their dog with the HCSO. Personnel moving within BFG must de-register their dog with their current HCSO and re-register with the HCSO at their new station.


HCSO discrepancies, consequences and other options DISPUTES. Where there is uncertainty as to a dogs' predominant breed and it's classification, the HCSO is to contact a Veterinary Surgeon (Military or German Civilian). The Veterinary Surgeon will make the final and binding decision.
