If you feel immune from BSL - List of 75 banned or restricted breeds

[mrose_s]

lab, golden? i though the stereotypes ran both ways? didn't think they'd ever make it on the list.

this is so stupid, i can't believe this is happening

[Aussie Red]

One wonders if this isn't the beginning of the end ? Now being that they have passed that mandatory spay/neuter law in California Nevada is trying to follow it.
I wonder if dogs will not be able to be owned one day and only seen in zoos and pictures and we can all say remember when.........

On the lighter side since they have the ACD listed and then listed the Blue Heeler does that mean Whiskey would be safe ? He is a red Heeler not noted on the list and since they seem to not know that Heelers are ACDs well? I know I will fix that I will revert back to them being known as The Queensland Heeler again and when they figure that out I will say they are Hall's Heelers lol

Although the list is pathetic and scary, I can't help but be amused that the Belgian Malinois, Tervuren, and Sheepdog are on the list, but the Laekenois is not. Short and long coats make dogs dangerous, but wire coats make them safe?

I live in area in which pits are banned, and I have a neighbor who is illegally keeping a dog-aggressive pit. Yet, this neighbor is one of the few neighbors with whom I have no problem--because he keeps his dog on a freakin' leash, unlike most of the people here in the Land of Unleashed Shih-tzus. Owner behavior is what matters, not the breed of dog.

I knew that the Belgian Malinois was on the restricted list..

the Belgian Tervuren being on is a new one for me though..

*sigh*..

stupid irresponsible owners..

why is the government so stupid too??

[ToscasMom]

Riot, it would be nice if they at least had the courtesy to spell it right. Or is this an alternate spelling?

Ooooh, I got stickied. I feel special now, thanks Renee.

I sent in my location and my mom's to be added to the vigil. One thing that they didn't specify in this post is that they need your zip code as well.

Thanks for denigrating the effort. I've lived with BSL, so I don't care if its hysteria or not, I'm on board for anything that may help. It doesn't seem like hysteria when you're leaving your home in order to keep your dog. It says the source of the list is the RDOWS. If you have questions, why not ask them?

[Psyfalcon]

RDOWS does not source their list.

I don't care who wrote it, or for what cause. Its all Machiavellian B.S.

Until people learn to lay out facts and supporting statements, this world will get nowhere beyond BSL and ill- written lists.

So until you get a verified and certified list you will not take one minute out of your day to send an email that just might help?

I got a reply to my email BTW. We are adding our little flag to the map and small gesture as that is I am gald I made it.

[Momof2Pups]

Ugh. I despise BSL.
And, yes, every breed has the potential to be dangerous, even your stereotypical, always playful, never-aggressive golden retriever.
