You know it might have the opposite effect rather than focusing negatively on a specific breed when the criteria is related only to some type of documented aggression. How many Chi's, Jack Russells, Cocker Spaniels, Poodles, etc. will also be on the list along with the pits, GSD's, Dobe's and Rotties?

I also agree that owners as well as dogs should be on the list. I also like the idea of including in the database if the owner's are working with a trainer, vet behaviorist or animal behaviorist to work on their dogs fear/aggression issue.
