Dear Mr Tennant

In relation to the breeds of dogs which have had warnings issued, I
confirm that the Council holds the information requested but are refusing
your request, as set out under Section 16 of the Freedom of Information

requested would incur fees that exceed the upper limit of £600.  The
information requested would require a manual search of each case.
