Fairfield would be the last place for me! they are bannng breeds because they are over 100lbs? that's rediculous! i'm just shocked that breeds like the great dane, newfie, and irish wolfhound where on the list.

I say we do like Italy and restrict just about ALL breeds. Proper owners for every dog!!

I heard that they actually banned the Pembroke Corgi in Italy. Watch out for them Corgies, they'll give you a bruise on your ankle, and you don't want that .

Banning is so stupid. Next it'll be the Chihuahua.

Sigh. So many times it comes down to people who don't understand what it means to own a dog, who don't appreciate the responsibility they are taking on. It is not the dogs who have problems.

Rockport, Maine: it is illegal to have a dog anywhere on Main Street. Doesn't matter the breed, or size, doesn't matter if it is on leash. Rockport is a tourist place and I always took my dog on vacation with me. Got out of the car, put Samantha on leash, put money in the parking meter, took 2 steps, AND GOT A TICKET FOR HAVING A DOG ON MAIN ST. It was like the officer was just watching and waiting for me to fill the meter before he got rid of us! Man, I got out of town FAST!

Does anyone know, do the French still permit dogs everywhere, even in the supermarkets? I was there in 1990, and was fascinated - most of the dogs weren't even on a leash! They just heeled with master, nodded to passing dogs. No wonder the Europeans think we are wild, I thought; our dogs could never do that! (Well, I think mine may have been able to, but you get the picture.)
