 NYC Dog Law

I was just wondering if New York has a Dangerous Dog Law?
If so which dogs are banned/not allowed?
Like obviously here in norway we have certain breeds that are not allowed in the country and if you do what rules you have to follow if that breed is accepted in
And was wondering if it was the same for each individual state in USA or if it applyed for the whole of America
Thanks

 NYC Dog Law

May 2008- These dogs are outlawed in New York and South Dakota:

1)Rottweiler
2)Pit Bull Dogs
3)Dobermans
4)German Shepard’s
5) Bull Mastiffs

There is a leash law in public places and if the dog is over 4 months old and in New York over 30 days it needs to be licensed. Each state has different laws .

Personally I think its the owners responsibility to control their dogs at all times in all situations . We need tougher laws when they are in violation of the dog laws, higher fines instead of a slap on the wrists and leash laws enforced .

I am pro gun and pro dogs . I do not think the government should be able to tell anyone that they can not have a certain breed of dog no more than tell you you can not own a gun. BUT if you have had a dog that has bitten someone or has broken the laws then that person needs a Big fine , jail time and if a repeat offender should not be allowed to own a dog at all.Basically apply the same laws that we have for guns to dog owners .Instead of a conceal and carry law , how about a law that requires people to take a training class before buying a dog ? If we can do it for gun owners we can do it for dog owners too. People need to take responsibility for what they carry or walk out in public.

hey guys, totally agree.
how can the states try to bann guns? dont u guys have a right to bare arms?lol
thats y i luv where i live. british columbia,Canada. no laws about our dogs. well other than leash law. we have no banns on certain breeds. hopefully we wont get any either. if stupid owners would just train their dogs, we’d never have to worry about it.i think the thing that keeps us without breed bans, is we get alot of abused dogs in shelters. epsecially pits and rotties. so i think their looks at it from a bad owners point of view. IDK
b ut i think all owners should license their dogs. theres no reason not to. also i think u should need to licence ur dog before breeding. if not, u should have a hefty fine u have to pay.

In Illinois, there’s only about 5 cities on that list that have bully breed bans; just pit bulls, rotties and dobies pretty much. In Belvidere I think it is, they’re discussing a ban of any dog over 15 lbs. now THAT is totally krass! And in some cities, you have to have insurance coverage of at least $100,000 for your bully breeds!!!!

I hate it when they ban breeds....it’s ridiculous, it’s a breed of dog, at least give out a license to own that breed before you ban it.

Sad to say but our government is becoming more and more communistic . We have so many laws now they can not enforce them all but they still want to pass more . If you are not harming another or taking away someone else freedom ,I think you should be able to say or do what you want .

Harm non
Do what ye will

By the way, even though I disagree with a lot of the politicians and much of our government, I still love this country. It is far better than any other .We have more freedoms than most .

I know this against the rules . I hope I have not offended anyone . If I have I apologize.

I just don’t agree with the banning of breeds, thats like racism against dogs. The many different breeds of dog are like the many different races of humane, we’re all different and well all have different characteristics about us that make us unique. Banning a pit bull because of one or two becoming agressive is like banning a black person because one or two commited a crime. Other races commit crimes, just as other breeds become agressive and attack. I do not believe what they are doing is right and it against my un numerated rights, and I promise that if they try and ban bully breeds in my area, I will take it to court. If they can do it for abortion, I can do it for dogs. I stand for those bully breeds that get judged so wrongfully. Rottweilers, Pit bulls, Bulldogs, Dobermens, Bullmastiffs, exc are just like every other breed in america, they all have a tendancy to be agressive, but they all have a tendancy to be some of the best dang dogs you’ve ever seen when given the opportunity.

Skullkeeper,
I’m interested in where you found the information regarding banned breeds in New York. Can you post a link? I’d like to read it.
Thanks

I googled Breed Specific Laws and found this site

www.rott-n-chatter.com

They have a color coded list for each state telling if they have passed BSL , if they are pending or if they have failed.

LOL, Bull Mastiffs are banned??!!!! That is like the wimpiest dog on the PLANET! I’ve never met one that so much as moves an inch in a mean manner. They are the nicest, sweetest, most docile breed of dog and they wouldn’t hurt a fly! My friend’s Bull Mastiff was abused in a meth lab until he was like 3 years old and even he is at the bottom of the pecking order in the dog "pack". Seriously, puggles are far more dangerous.

Anyway, why are you relating dogs to guns? Dogs are not a weapon, nor are they a form of "defense". They are family members. The government is most certainly not trying to ban guns, though I wish they would. No one I know who would ever want to even touch a gun is someone I want owning one. Accidents happen, and with a gun in your hands lives are taken completely unnecessarily. 600 people died completely accidentally in the year 2000 because of guns. That’s 600 people, in one year, that would still be alive if people didn’t own guns. People who are aware of the dangers of guns are less likely to want to own one.

Stupid kids get a hold of guns and shoot things, including animals! We have a cat with a bullet in her spine because of some idiot kid who got a hold of his dad’s weapon. The cat now has three legs after an amputation and could die at any moment of lead poisoning. Is her life less important than anyone else’s? Was it really worth someone’s sense of security in a nice neighborhood of Seattle?

The fact is, guns have never and will never save lives. Death doesn’t create life, war doesn’t create peace, breed bans don’t solve problems. Our country is most certainly not becoming communist, if anything the effects of capitalism are shining brightly as ever. And communistic isn’t a word, so it certainly isn’t becoming communistic.

Please don’t respond with an argument about guns or communism, these forums aren’t about those things. I just wanted to counter what’s been said and leave it at that.

Anyway, are we sure those breeds are banned? Why not just ban all black people too? Jeeze, there are higher violence rates in primarily black neighborhoods, it sounds like a great plan, doesn’t it? The problem must be that they’re black, not that they have suffered generations worth of poor treatment, poverty, and hatred. *Sarcasm* for those who didn’t get it.

Those for banning breeds need to head back to the 40’s. The rest of us need to move on and educate people that a neutered, well socialized, loved, fed, trained dog of any breed is a wonderful pet in the right hands. We need to educate people who have in tact, poorly socialized, underfed, and untrained dogs about what they need to do with their pets to give dogs everywhere better lives. Education is the answer, not more laws and regulations. That just makes responsible people stop owning these breeds and leaves irresponsible people owning them illegally and making the situation worse.

I saw that site. It was quite vague and perhaps outdated. I live near one of the towns listed and there are no breed bans there. According to an article I found on the NAIA site New York has banned BSL’s.
FYI...As a resident of NY, I know there are no statewide bans of the breeds you mentioned. Though some insurance companies charge a higher home owner’s premium for certain breeds. But there is legislation pending to end that practice.
Most towns have leash laws, noise ordinances including barking dogs, pooper scooper laws etc... but it is local legislation.
New York is actually a very dog friendly state! LOL

This could just be me, this was a while ago. But back in my freshman year of highschool we learned about weapons in america. Alot of people died of lead poisoning from the amo being used. But after about a decade they started using less harmfulthings in the bullets, and stopped using lead. So I’m only a little curious of how a kid got ahold of 18th-19th century weaponry??? Only curious. I had a bull mastiff once, biggest baby in the world. But when someone would even give off a vibe that they were going to harm someone he started acting very cautious. Thats all he would do, he would lean against our legs and hung around near us when ever there was a bad vibe. One day there was a man that came to look at his puppies, he started that up, the man stepped in towards me and I’ll be darned if the big ol bruit turned into all mighty protector, he knocked that man over and stood in his face growling, I had a hundred dollars on the fact that, that man probably crapped him pant, but he never bit the guy. Never. So the bullmastiffs being banned is kind of dumb. Maybe because they have the name bull??? I’m not sure, it confuses me.

I was gonna say I thought they were dog friendly! I don’t live there but have been quite a few times. You’d be surprised how many Rotts and Pitts I’ve seen there, especially in Manhattan and Central Park. California’s been trying to pass BSL for a while now. If they succeed, I’m leaving because I own a breed on their list. My boxer wouldn’t dream of hurting anyone and people in the gov’t want her gone because she’s a boxer! She’s in the bull dog family which includes pitts so obviously she must be a vicious dog! Not my way of thinking btw, It’s theirs. I love pitts.
