According to the ordinance, a pit bull is an “American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Presa Canario, Canary Island Dog, Can Corso, or dog exhibiting those distinguishing characteristics which substantially conform to the standards established by the American Kennel Club or United Kennel Club.” The ordinance also covers “. . . any mixed breed of dog which contains as an element of its breeding the breed of American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Presa Canario, Canary Island Dog, or Can Corso as to be identifiable as partially of the breed” of the animals named above. The ordinance further defines a “dangerous dog,” which includes dogs that have bitten, attacked, approached in a dangerous, vicious or terrorizing manner or otherwise endangered livestock without provocation. Eight subparagraphs are used in the ordinance to define dangerous dogs, including one paragraph which specifically names dog breeds related to pit bull terriers. The county also has a set of standards for the ownership of “dangerous dogs” and pit bulls owned before the ordinance was enacted. Those owning dogs determined to be dangerous will need to apply for a license, and have veterinary certification of rabbies vaccination, compliance with all requirements of the ordinance and payment of $100 for each dog deemed to be dangerous. That does not include any dog determined of be partially or completely a pit bull breed.    Report
