This was cross-posted on a goats and livestock group from a Dog Legislation group. In addition, they have a web site with more information – Responsible Dog Owners of the Western States. Some of the legislation will ban or restrict ownership of LGD and working dogs such as dogs needed and cherished by many in the group.

The following list contains dog breeds that are either banned or restricted from ownership in legislation either passed, proposed, or tabled in venues throughout the United States of America. Some breeds are named specifically, some breeds are included by physical description. All dogs are subject to being named. Dog ownership is under a barrage of legislation that threatens its very existence. Some breeds are included in so-called "pit bull" bans or restrictions. Some breeds are named under "wolf-hybrid" bans or restrictions. Not one of these bans, or restrictions has made our cities, counties or municipalities safer. Responsible Dog Owners of the Western States opposes breed specific legislation. RDOWS encourages the passage of Responsible Dog Owner Legislation that addresses the real problems. For a copy of RDOWS Model Dog Owner Regulations please contact any RDOWS state Director, or RDOWS.
