“Fighting breed dog” means an animal in the taxonomic classification Canis Familiaris (also referred to as the common household dog), not owned by a government agency, that is known by the owner or should reasonablcy be known by the owner to be an Akita, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, Cane Corso, Dogo Argentino, Dogue de Bordeaux, Kuvasz, Pit Bull Terrier, Presa Canario, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, or Tosa Inu, or breed of any dog, or any mix of dog breeds which contains as an element of its breeding any of the above-listed breeds, as to be identifiable of or partially of such breed(s), and any breed designated by the Director pursuant to this chapter as a "fighting breed."
They later state:
Quote:
{The director is authorized to:} 8. Designate additional dog breeds as “fighting breed dogs” for the purposes of this chapter, in addition to the breeds designated in the definition of “fighting breed dog”, pursuant to the rulemaking procedures in Title 3, Chapter 2 of this Code; provided, however:
a. In exercising this rulemaking authority, the Director shall consult experts in the field
(what "expert" is going to say about their breed, "yeah, it's a fighting dog, we should ban it")
Quote:
b. The Director may not designate a breed as a “fighting breed” unless the Director finds that fighting or baiting other dogs or large animals was a primary goal in the dog breed’s creation, or that the dog breed was developed to be used as a weapon against human beings. Breeds such as Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Boxers, and German Shepherds, or other working breeds whose historical purpose has not been to fight or bait, shall not be designated as "fighting breed dogs"
Interesting distinction. I see some faulty logic here...
Also... heh
Quote:
C. Within fourteen days of the enactment of this chapter, every owner of a fighting breed dog shall obtain a weatherproof vest to be securelcy attached to the dog’s back, which vest shall feature the dog’s license number in digits at least three inches in height and rendered in a reflective medium to allow clear reading after dark. The owner shall ensure that the vest is on the dog at all times when it is outside its home enclosure. Failure to license a fighting breed dog constitutes a misdemeanor. Failure to license a fighting breed dog constitutes grounds for impounding the fighting breed dog.
This reminds me of how registered sex offenders in some areas have to have a sign on their house and car so EVERYBODY knows about it, only these dogs have commited no crime!

Hmm if you take into account that at one time the Shar-pei was once a fighting dog, what is keeping them from someday being added to the BSL crap. There are no bad breeds, just bad owners & bad breeders.
