Question juridique clé
Does the transitional rule in § 6 HV also apply to a later keeper who takes over an already existing dog after the law entered into force?
Solution extraite
No. The transitional rule covers only dog ownership that already existed when the new legislation entered into force; a later keeper cannot rely on it.
Motifs extraits
The rule was meant to ease the transition for pre-existing, compliant holdings of permit-required dogs. A person who acquires such a dog after the law’s entry into force must obtain a new permit under the ordinary rules.
