Definition
A restriction applied across the board without individual assessment, such as 'no dogs' or 'no dogs over 20kg' regardless of behaviour.
Part of the Roch Dog Residence Standard (RDRS-01) · Published by Roch Dog
A restriction applied across the board, without individual assessment, such as "no dogs" or "no dogs over 20 kg" regardless of the dog's behaviour.
The standard is inconsistent with blanket restrictions on dogs as a category; case-specific reasonable refusals remain available.
Roch Interpretation
A blanket rule shuts out a whole category of dog without ever looking at the individual animal. The standard rejects that, while still allowing a documented refusal of a specific dog.
