A dog is assessed on its individual behaviour, not excluded by blanket breed, size, or weight rules.
Standard Requirement
A dog is assessed on its individual behaviour, not excluded by blanket breed, size, or weight rules.
RDRS-01 A3 · Pass/fail. Fail this requirement and the outcome is Not Certified.
A dog is assessed on its individual behaviour, not excluded by blanket breed, size, or weight rules.
A breed or size restriction imposed by applicable law meets this requirement only where it is disclosed and its legal basis identified. A restriction sought by a private insurance policy, head-lease term, or by-law is not a legal requirement for this purpose.

Assessed under RDRS-CAF-01 (forthcoming)
Roch Interpretation
The benchmark is the ordinary, well-socialised family dog. Behaviour decides, not breed or weight on a chart, and an insurer's preference is not the law.
Examples
Compliant
A well-behaved 35kg Labrador is assessed and accepted on the same terms as a small dog.
Not compliant
A breed is banned and the landlord claims the insurer requires it, with no actual legal basis.
