What Should I Be Especially Aware Of?

ALPS RESORTS makes no distinction with respect to dog breeds. All dog breeds are welcome, but we do wish to draw your attention to the following. In Austria, there are specific regulations and laws concerning the ownership and handling of certain dog breeds that are classified as dangerous. These regulations may vary by province. Here is some general information and a few examples:

General Regulations

1. Listed Dogs: Certain dog breeds such as Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, and Rottweiler are classified as “dangerous dogs.”
2. Muzzle and Leash Requirement: In many Austrian provinces, these dogs must always be kept on a leash in public and, in many cases, also wear a muzzle.
3. Dog Handling License: Some provinces require owners of dangerous dog breeds to have a dog license that certifies they are able to control their dog safely.
4. Special Permits: Keeping such dogs often requires a special permit, only granted after a behavioral assessment of the dog has been conducted.

These regulations are intended to protect the general public and ensure that dogs that might potentially be dangerous are handled and kept safely. It is important to inform yourself about specific laws and regulations in the respective province before acquiring a dog.
