You could show the prospective landlord his certification, and then let him keep the articles.

If Kujo doesn't have any titles, maybe you could have the landlord meet with him in your current living area? This way he can see what he acts like at home.

If you're not comfortable with doing that you could maybe show some documentation of dog attacks that show that there are many other breeds that are considered "companions" that have been vicious. This would need to be thought out though because this may turn the person off of dogs entirely. You need to know if this is a dog person who is just biased against certain breeds, or a person who doesn't like dogs but will let them live in his condo/apartment/house if the breed is ok.

Good luck!
I totally agree. Sarah, you always have good ideas!
