Rottweilers were originally used to herd livestock and pull meat carts to market. Rottweilers, a favourite for guarding property, also suffered a similar fate after the war. In Ireland, a number of different breeds such as the English bull terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier, bull mastiff, doberman pinscher, German shepherd, Rhodesian ridgeback, rottweiler, Japanese akita and the Japanese Tosa have to be kept on leads by an over-16, must bear the owner's name and address on their collar and must be muzzled in public. The Dangerous Dogs Act outlaws breeds which are considered aggressive, like pit bull terriers. Four breeds - the pit bull terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and the Fila Brasileiro - were banned in England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have a system of dog control notices. Pit bull type dogs are now banned in many countries around the world.
