Restricted breed dogs have not attacked a person or animal or displayed signs of aggression. However, they are considered a higher risk to community safety than other breeds of dogs.
Find out about the restrictions, standards and legislation for keeping restricted breed dogs in Victoria.
A restricted breed dog is any of these breeds: American Pit Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Japanese Tosa or Perro de Presa Canario.
We acknowledge the traditional Aboriginal Owners of Country throughout Victoria, their ongoing connection to this land and we pay our respects to their culture and their Elders past, present and future.
