Hey All!
I asked Ed to start this area as the place to discuss BSL and politics that are directly related to *dog* issues.
So........if it's a political subject that will affect dog ownership in some way, this is the place!

Hi Mike,
I actually live in NW Houston right now(originally from Minnesota)in an apartment but we are moving at the end of August to Dallas.
I have a 7 month old GSD so my eyes popped out my head when I read your post! I am sorry but I don't know what BSLs is? Could you tell me?
We will be buying a house, but for now it sounds like I am going to have to live in hiding until then. Since I am not from Texas, I don't even know the rules for dog owners.
I agree with you that it does seem like a death sentence. Have you looked into it further to know what your rights are?
If you don't mind letting me know the details of what happened that you found out such unfortunate news.

Do you start with the CGC info?
And do you say "mix" (I mean, he is a mix, right?) rather than "GSD"?
It makes me sick to have to suggest that GSD is a bad name to say, but I would start with the parts that the property owner want to hear: What a CGC is, that your dog has earned it, and that your dog is a mix.

Where I live they can decide not to rent a place to you based on your pets. However once you are living there they can not evict you if you get a pet.
After you move your dog in you could say that it used to be a helper dog for your handicapped brother who has now had to move to a hospital temporarily due to complications, then grab your nose between your eyes and take a deep breath.
As long as you pick up after your dog and don't let it run at large your neighbours should be ok with you. The building we lived in; we met everyone because I was always in the elevator "going for a walk".
Say "hi", smile, it will work in your favour. The building will soon love your dogs.
Some dogs laws are ridiculous, but it is the few that ruin it for the many.
