List Of 75 Banned Or Restricted Breeds – Is Your Dog On The List?<\/h3>\n
\n
The information here comes from the Responsible Dog Owners Of The Western States (RDOWS)<\/strong><\/a> , which has just updated the list of breeds that have been banned or restricted in the U.S.<\/div>\n
All you dog lovers out there may just be in for a shock. BSL – or
\nbreed-specific legislation and breed discrimination- isn’t just for
\npitbulls or Rottweilers anymore.<\/div>\n
\"Rottiepuppy4_3\"<\/a><\/div>\n
The RDOWS <\/strong><\/a>has tracked a list of 75 breeds of dogs that have been banned or restricted – yep – that’s Seventy-five. That’s 75!<\/div>\n
Just who or what is behind this breed ban frenzy?<\/div>\n
Is your dog on the list of banned or restricted breeds?<\/div>\n
Here’s the deal……………<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Media Frenzy Equals Breed Bans<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
But before we get to the list – the question I have is WHY is there a list to begin with?<\/div>\n
And just who is pouring gasoline onto the fire, whipping up
\nthe flames of pit bull hysteria? Who or what is driving the onslaught
\nof anti-dog legislation?<\/div>\n
The answer? Your local paper, TV or radio station is – by
\npublishing, posting or airing innacurate reports than use inflammatory
\nlanguage (“vicious<\/em>” Rottweiler, “marauding<\/em>” pitbulls, etc.)<\/div>\n
Your local TV station is deliberately showing UNRELATED
\nfootage of dogfights supplied by the Humane Society of the United
\nStates, which seems to be to be pitching “aggressive breed” stories to
\nnetwork affiliates in Las Vegas, New York and other markets.<\/div>\n
Dog fighting is a felony in all 50 states and is a totally
\nseparate issue from dog-on-human aggression. Yet – we have the HSUS
\ndeliberately mixing visual imagery and video of underground dogfights
\nwith the issue of dangerous dogs or dog bite prevention AND providing
\nthis footage to your local TV station, Nancy Grace, etc.<\/div>\n
This is not journalisim – this is sensationalism. The
\nquestion you all need to ask is WHY is HSUS pushing this footage out to
\nmedia outlets????<\/div>\n
Across the country – and indeed around the world – cities,
\ncounties and local town councils are busy banning or restricting breeds
\ninstead of punishing irresponsible behavior.<\/div>\n
Here’s what is happening:<\/div>\n
Breed bans – an outright ban on owning a specific breed of dog<\/div>\n
Breed-specific sterilization – owners are forced to spay or neuter animal<\/div>\n
Breed-specific measures that include mandatory registration in a
\ndatabase similar to a sex offender database, forced microchipping,
\nforced containment or signage<\/div>\n
Breed-specific insurance requirements – forces owners to obtain the
\nunobtainable “vicious” breed insurance – in reality this forces owners
\nto surrender dogs or move<\/div>\n
Weight or size restrictions – banning dogs over an arbitrarily
\ndetermined weight or size – as in Fairfield, Iowa where all dogs over
\n100 lbs are banned (St. Bernard, Irish Wolfhound, Great Dane, etc.)<\/div>\n
BTW – your insurance company is happily waiting in the background too
\n– waiting to exclude coverage of your dog, waiting to drop your policy,
\nor waiting to outrageously raise your rates.<\/div>\n
List of 75 Banned or Restricted Dogs<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
HOWAre Dogs Banned Or Restricted?<\/strong><\/div>\n
OK, dog lovers, here’s what you need to know about this
\nlist. The dogs on the list have been banned or restricted by one of TWO
\nways:<\/div>\n
\n
By Name:<\/strong> A local township has name the specific breed breed of dog in a local ordinance OR<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
By Description:<\/strong> A local township has included
\nthat breed by description in an ordinance – such ordinances may read
\n“any dog matching the the characteristics of being short-coated, with
\nbulldog-type appearances – or having an appearance that includes a
\nshort, muscular type build, flat head, or being of a bulldog
\ntype”………… etc.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
WHERE Are Dogs Banned Or Restricted?<\/strong><\/div>\n
This list means that SOMEWHERE in the US. , dogs on this
\nlist have been either banned or have had restrictions placed on owning
\nsuch dogs, such as mandatory spay\/neuter 0r mandatory microchipping,
\netc.<\/div>\n
For anone reading this from OUTSIDE the U.S., the dogs
\nlisted below are not NOT UNIFORMLY banned\/restricted across the entire
\nU.S. This means that the breeds listed below are banned or restricted
\nin different places around the U.S. , and that individual states,
\ncities, counties or towns all make their own LOCAL LAWS – and those laws
\ndiffer according to individual communities.<\/div>\n
Also – it’s important to note that the list includes even MIXES of these breeds.<\/div>\n
Questions? <\/strong><\/div>\n
If you have any questions about why these breeds are on the list, please contact Responsible Dog Owners Of The Western States (RDOWS)<\/strong><\/a> . So – without further ado, courtesy of the RDOWS<\/strong><\/a>, here is the list of 75 – count ’em – SEVENTY FIVE – banned or restricted breeds …………………<\/div>\n

How’s that for scary? You’re wide awake now, I bet.<\/div>\n
What’s a dog owner to do? For starters – BEFORE you move, buy or
\nrent a home, wherever you are – be sure to check with the local city
\nhall – NOT THE REALTOR – to find out about local dog laws and if any
\nbreed-specific measures are in place or are being considered.<\/div>\n
But don’t take city hall’s word, either. Ask for a COPY of the local
\nordinance, and then ask your local city council rep if they support
\nbreed-specific laws or measures.<\/div>\n
Is YOUR Dog At Risk? <\/a><\/div>\n
3 Step Plan T0 Stop Breed Bans<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
So, dog lovers – now that you know that much of dogdom is on the line, what are you going do do about it?<\/div>\n
I say it’s time to make the donuts. It’s time for dog lovers of
\nevery dog, every breed, shape or size to come together to stop this Dog
\nHolocaust.<\/div>\n
We need to stand together, pull together – for united we stand,
\ndivided we fall – And if we fall, we may see the very dogs we love
\ndisappear forever from the face of the earth.<\/div>\n
What can just one person do – how can you help?<\/div>\n
Here’s a simple, 3-step plan to help stop breed bans and other anti-dog legislation:<\/div>\n
1) VOTE!<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
We all know its Deed, Not Breed, yet our politicians continue to ban dogs instead of focusing on responsible ownership.<\/div>\n
Get out and VOTE in your next local or state election for the
\ndog-friendly candidate of your choice.(Hint – candidates that support or
\nvoted for or breed-specific measures are NOT dog-friendly!) Tell your
\ncandidate that MY DOG VOTES! (That’ll wake them up \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
BTW – You can download a free copy of the My Dog Votes DOG-FRIENDLY CANDIDATE CHECKLIST HERE: Download MDV.DogFriendlyCandidateChecklist.pdf<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n
2) DONATE TO THE REAL HEROES!<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
Give your hard-earned dollars to your LOCAL shelter, your LOCAL
\nrescue. These are the people who do the real work and they don’t get a
\ndime from the Big Four.<\/div>\n
While you’re at it, STOP DONATING to the so-called “animal
\nprotection” organizations that directly or overtly support breed bans or
\nother BSL, like PETA, or that covertly support BSL by deliberately
\nmisinforming and yes- scaring! the public by manipulating the media.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
