YAY little girl!!!!
 That is what I've been thinking a long time. Stop banning the breeds, and start making people earn the right to own these wonderful dogs!

The owner has to show some ability to handle a dog in this scheme. It's a wonderful idea; responsible breeders and rescue organizations have been screening potential owners for a long time and have been saying the same kind of thing.

Should this come to fruition, hopefully, licensing (ie, screening potential owners) will eliminate potential owners who aren't committed to a dogs training and care for the duration of a dogs life.

It's a proposal for certain breeds is what I understand.
The one thing that worries me about it is who sets the standard? I'm not the typical large breed owner - I handle my dogs very differently than most, but my dogs are well behaved in public and able to go anywhere without me having to be concerned about them being inappropriately defensive.

The last quote in the article sums things up perfectly. ' "The problem with the dogs is not the dogs themselves – it's the dog owners." '
