You need to check your homeowners insurance, I received a letter awhile back from my insurance company listing five types of dogs they deemed as high risk and if I own one my liability insurance would not cover any accidents. So I can't kennel pit bulls, Rottweiler, chows and can't remember the two others. I am almost twenty miles from the nearest town. The four acres around my house is fenced, have invisible fence five foot inside of that in case someone leaves the gate open. Have kennels with a 7ft fence around them. The problem is if you haven't noticed, these young kids with there pit bulls on this huge chain walking up and down the street being cool. They train these dogs to be aggressive and fight them. then they take them home a put them in a yard that the fence is falling down. then when the dogs get away and bites someone they can't understand how it happens. The city council should give you an option or requirements for a person to own a dog of this type, have kennel and fencing requirements. They should come up with these standards a require inspection by animal control. If a person meet  these requirements he should be able to have any type dog they wish.
