I have spoken with West Yorkshire Police regarding the incident on Wednesday 24 September.

I was told
Nothing they can do.

1. Mixed breeds are not deemed as a dangerous dog.
My response - I said you are wrong, there are four breeds that are banned.
Any dog is deemed as dangerous if it is out of control and poses a threat to the general public.

2. Its their nature to fight (to be expected).
My response - So an owner is not responsible for his dogs actions

3. Yes
My response - but it can't be enforced.

I should have the right to walk along any Street with my dog without him being attack - So what you are saying is I am no longer able to walk on that Street with my dog.

4. Were the dogs a threat to me.
My response - no but their actions caused distress to my mother who is an elderly lady and she was very shook up. These dogs could kill someone's pet.

The Police person understood what I was saying but they have limited powers.

I have got the number for the dog warden, I also need and name and address of the dog owner (a database system is needed) I will get it before the end of the weekend.

The law is an ass. There are laws in place but not enforceable, unless of course your dog is a particular breed or breed type. That's the message I received loud and clear this morning.

Now I am mad. I'd love to use this as a test case and start a precedent.
