33EA: Menacing dog classification to extend over New Zealand

You could also call this:

"Menacing dogs are classified as menacing everywhere in New Zealand."

If you have a dog that is classified as menacing under section 33A or 33C, this classification applies everywhere in New Zealand. You do not have to worry about the classification changing if you move to a different part of the country. This rule is in place to make things clear and avoid any confusion about menacing dog classifications.
