Menacing Dog / Responsible Menacing Dog Desexed (Breed only) / Responsible Menacing Dog (Breed only) fee lines are published in the current 2026/2027 schedule marked 'To be removed' with no dollar figure at all — a genuine absence in the source document, not an extraction failure (cross-checked via two independent pdftotext passes), so left out of fees[] rather than guessed. Registration Fee for a Probationary Owner: 'Apply fee applicable to their classification' (no separate dollar figure).
