A specialist stakeholder group is getting a list of recommendations ready for laws around certain breeds of dogs.
Doherty said: "If we just wipe out Xl Bullies tomorrow, there will be a different dog in the headlines."
He believes a lack of dog wardens is a massive issue.
He also said we need a more holistic approach to tackling dog behaviour in their own home.
He added that the the cropping of ears in some dogs is a trauma that should be avoided.
