Restricted/Banned breeds: Borzoi, St. Bernard, Great Dane, Malamutes

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.

I can just see Tucker like a little football player taking someone down. (NOT) Geeze, they will be banning Chi's next they way they're doing things in some places. I can't believe it. It's just awful

Huskies are on many banned breed lists. Insurance companies in particular often refuse to insure homeowners with Huskies. The problem is that on bite stat lists "huskies" are in the top ten just about every time. Not Siberians, but generic husky--any prick eared dog with a curled tail is classed as a husky.

Aw, darn! I guess I can't get insured with Spanky around!

Hmm... Think she could pass for a big ol' mean ( ) Husky dog?

Your right Clacier I almost didn't get house insurance because of my two Huskies. Allstate insured my house with no problem. Thor even bit the inspector.

I live in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We have a Pit Bull ban. I am all for it.

Do I think all Pits are mean? No. I've met lovely Pit Bulls. So why am I for it? Doesn't that make me terrible?

I am all for the ban for the protection of the DOGS. We have had in the past a HUGE fighting ring in Fort Wayne. It's still going on, but the numbers have dropped because of this ban.

Peoples' dogs were being stolen from their yards if they were Pit Bulls... just to be used as bait dogs. Sweet, kind dogs that were bred to be COMPANIONS were frequently being snatched up.

This ban makes it easier to identify fighters and prosecute them, as well as keep people safe from the fighting dogs. We've had quite a few bites here from Pits. It isn't the Pits that are kept in good homes from reputable breeders that bite, but the ones trained to fight, as well as their offspring, purchased by ignorant people that think they should have guard dogs.

How could you be against a ban like this?

I do, however, have problems with bans that ban dogs based on size. This is a completely different sort of ban.

Heres a site with all the States that have BSL. A lot of States are banning rotties. Who's breed is going to be next? It honestly scares me who they will pick to BAN next...http://www.rott-n-chatter.com/rottwe...dspecific.html

I NEVER thought of it that way, and you know, it makes total sence. If I didn't want the chance for my dog to be snatched up, I'd move. Nothing less.
And some of this posted by the OP is just wonderfull. Lets ban breeds that have been bred for years to SAVE people and haven't ever been known to fall into the hands of bad owners frequently. Jeez, what good could that do!?!
And thanks for the BSL links. It's absolutley appauling to know that a town one over from me has banned breeds.

Thanks! And I believe it's a Timber Wolf pup, or so Google says, but then again you can't always trust Google lol...
