 Some I can understand but all dogs shouldn't be treated differently because some owners don't have a brain. |  |  | |  |

As a child I had a Lhaso Apso that basically ripped my earlobe off an I needed 25 stictches and plastic surgery. Give me a pitbull orr rottie anyday. At least they don't tend to snap out of no where. Little dogs are actually quite more scary than big ones as I beleive they are more likelty to SNAP... but again... one just has to train any dog right. | | | | |

What if you can,- then so can I. |
| | Barked: Tue May 29, '07 2:07pm PST | | | | | | This all so crazy!!! I am more scared of people than they are of me. What am I going to do? Pee on you? Get a clue people. Dogs are only a reflection of the enviorment in which they live and grow. I had a horrible puppy hood and I am the most loving baby in the world. Some people just need to be shot! | | | | |

| | Barked: Tue May 29, '07 2:16pm PST | | | | | | Yeah, something's up with this particular list. Cape Coral, FL (in my county) is listed, but their regulations/laws are the laws adopted by Lee County as a whole! If you go to Lee Co. Animal Services web site & click on adoptable dogs, there are Rotties, Pitbulls & mixes, plus many more. Florida law specifically bans BSLs in Florida. The only thing counties & cities can do is make "vicious dog" & "bad dog" laws more stringent than the state & those definitions have nothing to do with breed, just behavior, repeat behavior, & owners taking responsibility or not.
Yes, I'm anti-BSL, but I wish folks would print the truth, back up their literature with citations, etc.Edited by author Tue May 29, '07 2:16pm PST

Let's go for a- walk! |
| | Barked: Tue May 29, '07 3:08pm PST | | | | | | Gwydion, most likely what is really going in is someone claiming there is BSL in a particular community, but not providing any details or documentation--not that the community has "secret" BSL that it hasn't revealed the details of to its citizens. It's yet another indication that there's something fishy about this list. Click on that link another poster provided, look at the BSL table for your state; mine, Massachusetts, shows a small number of communities claimed to have BSL--a large percentage of which are listed as "unconfirmed." They're listing the community as having BSL, even though they haven't yet bothered to find out if it's even true.
There's also a cute little sleight-of-hand going on, listing tiny dogs and big, powerful ones in one undifferentiated list, as if all the breeds were "banned" or restricted because people are quaking in their shoes at the sight of them--when in fact the prevalent complaint about little dogs is that they're yappy nuisances, and what's likely really happened is that some condominium board or homeowners association somewhere has banned specific little breeds because of some specific nuisance that they couldn't get rid of any other way.
All in all, it looks like a suspect and dishonest list, scare tactics rather than real information. | | | | |

| | Barked: Tue May 29, '07 7:39pm PST | | | | | | Hey, weren't Labs voted the best family pet dog several times??? I sure wish that list specified WHERE these various breeds were banned so we could research what was behind the legislation. Its hard to find phantoms, ghosts, smoke n' mirrors | | | | |
