    A country-based dog of that size might be at risk of going ‘stir-crazy’ if confined within an apartment in the city.

    Does Wirihana’s block have the standard by-law with the clause that permission to ‘keep’ the dog may not be withheld unreasonably?  If the dog can be documented as a well-mannered example of a breed with a reputation for good behaviour, then a challenge to a refusal might well succeed on those grounds.
