I'm waiting to see how long it takes to have them Rotties put down. You know they had to be flying under the radar to have 4 full grown Rotties.

Interestingly, Rottweilers aren't specifically mentioned on the government website. I expect that will change very quickly.

Planning to own a German Shepherd or Rottweiler? Such potentially dangerous dog breeds are listed under the Second Schedule of the Animals and Birds (Dog Licensing and Control) Rules ("Specified Dogs"). These are breeds reported to be more aggressive, and additional measures such as muzzling, have been put in place to minimise chances of an attack.

For non-HDB property, only one dog of any breed from the Specified dogs list can be licensed and kept in each such premises.

Thank you for this. The only difference between Part 1, Schedule 2 dogs (bulldogs) and Part 2, Schedule 2 dogs (Rottweilers) is that the Part 2 dogs do not have to be sterilized. Otherwise, the rules are exactly the same.

interestingly, the rules seem to be written such that if these breeds of dogs already exist in Singapore, then they are subject to the rules, but importing these dogs is not allowed. One would think that with the sterilization rules in effect, the breeds would soon die out.

it's edmw dialect. A combo of acronyms, phonetic spellings and memes.

I've lived in other countries where the standard of English is far worse. However in those countries they have use a local language to communicate, which is the native tongue of the majority. In Singapore they use a bastardised simplified form of English full of errors. This limits society as a whole to simple, crude concepts, and causes ambiguity and misunderstanding.

After 42 years here, I still don't/won't speak Singlish but understand a lot of it. Frankly its result is just the opposite from what you espouse. There are words and phrases of the other languages interspersed throughout Singlish and if you know the translation you will find the often one or two words can replace a 10 word sentence in English as the nuances don't need a heap of nouns, pronouns, adjectives and whatnot to make the point. While I don't like it, I accept that it will always be here in some form or another and you can find similar in almost any Non-native English country. When I go home I cannot understand spoken English in lots of the suburbs in the major cities today (but I've been away for over 40 years). Change is bound to happen. Locals are pretty accurate even with Singlish, we are the ignorant ones here. When in Rome......
Just look at their many international accolades in virtually all subjects.

Hi guys, not posted for a long time and looking for some advice.

This year, I'll be spending my time between the UK and Singapore.

Back in the UK, I have a couple of XL bullies. Not sure if you've been following the news, but it's not a good time for bullies in the UK right now.

I was wondering if it's possible to bring them to Singapore? I can't see anything online about them being banned etc. They're extremely well-behaved, great with kids etc. I live near the Botanic Gardens and would love to see them playing there.

Unfortunately you're probably going to have to leave them behind...

Thanks guys, appreciate it. Doesn’t look good then. I can only say my two bullies are model dogs, great with kids. I’ve talked to a lawyer friend about seeking an exception. One of mine isn’t 100% bulldog - according to a DNA test he’s actually 10-15% Dalmatian. This may allow for a ‘creative’ designation for ID certificate purposes. I’ll let you know how I get on.

Not going to work. Crosses aren't permitted. If there's even any bully in them, they're not going to be let in.

You're in for a very tough road as even mixes are not allowed.



Even if you were able to bring them in, the conditions under which they must be kept are rather onerous. And, you could keep only one dog in a non HDB residence.

Noted, thank you. Yep, not going to be easy at all! Fortunately the dogs and I are fighters (not in the actual, physically violent sense - I know the unfair reputation that bullies have! - but more in the Christina Aguilera sense).

Are you going to have to rehome them then? Giving up our family pup would devastate me, but luckily poodles are welcome pretty much everywhere.

Hello all,

I am new to the forum and was going through all the dog related posts. My husband and I are hoping to move to Singapore in Jul/Aug from the US and would like to relocate with our 14 year old rescue mixed breed dog if possible. On the AVS website, it states that we should send a picture of her face and body in the license application for review (if mixed breed), but on the actual AVS licensing site, it states that it is only applicable for Category A/B countries. So, I am a bit confused. Should we be sending a picture of her face/body separately, ahead of time to the AVS email contact info to confirm she meets the requirements? If they approve it, could the Singaporean Customs officer still overrule the decision? Thank you in advance for any suggestions/insights - this will hugely help us on next steps.
