BBC Radio 4 You & Yours 2May18 - Dogs that are detained by police under the Dangerous Dogs act
Dogs that are detained by police under the Dangerous Dogs act are being held for months and sometimes years before their future is decided. Any dog that's deemed to be a banned breed - or a cross of a banned breed - can be taken away by police, and ultimately destroyed. You & Yours asked every force in England and Wales how long these dogs are held in kennels while arguments are had about their breed and status. The programme has been told how some animals are kept for months and even years in kennels with little contact.
