From what I heard one ranger told a person she had to get out because her dog was a pit bull. The dog was not mean or aggressive. All the pits and pit mixesI have seen at the park have been friendly dogs - I think the breed has got a bad rep and so most people think they are mean. I think it has a lot to do with their temperment comes from inbreeding and how they were raised - after all some are raised to fight whether they want to or not. I believe that Tim had to make an apology to the person that the ranger kicked out of the park because again not all pits are mean. And if you had to choose a "mean" breed, wouldn't a lot of the breeds insurance companies are refusing to insure be included - like rottweilers.

I don't think any of the rangers at the park are qualified to look at a dog and tell what breed it is (in fact, most of them probably can't tell a Great Dane from a Jack Russell - oh sorry, that is showing my feelings about the rangers). And as Amy said, I think most of them feel that the dog park is okay and stays away unless someone calls them with a real complaint. And let me tell you, there are some dogs that should have been reported and haven't been!

In conclusion, I don't think there will be any problem with you bringing your new find to the park with you. Oh, and by the way, Carl says if you wanted a new dog, you didn't have to go looking the streets for strays, we would have given you one of ours.
