ROFL I just cut and paste and it came out that way. I try to fight BSL nationally. Dog owners need to unite on this subject. I am convinced that attempting BSL out here cost Jackie in the last election. We are a powerful group united but they will take our dogs if we divide or don't make it an important issue. It doesn't take a lot of time to e-mail and fax all your local politicians and let them know they will never get your vote if they support BSL.

All it will take is one boxer biting someone. BSL is about all real dogs. If having one is of any importance to you get involved. It's not as time consuming as you may think.

If you follow BSL at all you know the pit bull is just the one being demonized. The goal is to go after many dogs. The one's I posted are the most popular to go after but there are even more outlawed in different areas of the country right now including the English Bully which is beyond ridiculous.

My neighbors had a Chow when I was little that I was terrified of, but it was genuinely a psycho dog. But another in that neighborhood had an English Bulldog, and I think I could have walked and outrun that thing. I don't see how it could be dangerous. It was all the thing could do to breathe, let alone chase down and attack someone.

BD, i wonder if any of the AR groups are behind this fearmongering including the ASPCA and HSUS?

any evidence?

ROFL

It's been my experience that they back the legislators of proposed BSL when they try to pass it. Jacky Speier used them and their backing to try to try and get it through here. Every area may be different though. Our strength comes in numbers. Over half the households in the US have dogs to the tone of 61 million and will vote over party lines to keep them. That is VERY powerfull. It's just getting all dog owners on the same page and getting them to understand what is really going on.

My only experience with a boxer is with my brother-in-law's boxer. That dog is great with all the kids, my 3 and my SIL's 3. If anything, he's a little overwhelming with the playfulness, but not mean at all. He's a great dog. I may get a boxer when my dog dies.

I've always wondered what that would be like.....

I just wish they'd outlaw cats. Then I'd have a good excuse to get rid of the two my wife has.

Outlawing dogs is as ridiculous as some of the other assinign things that get outlawed.

I highly recommend it. I'd get another, but i've already got two rescued dogs and there's no way I'm getting another.

Big Daddy posts about it on a weekly basis

I hear a lot about how many there are in op. They already have ridiculous permit laws on the books now. The only reason they would go for an outright ban is to eventually go after many breeds. See how that works. They make you get the permit then pass an outright ban and since you are a good law abiding citizen they now know where your dog is so they can come and kill it. Isn't that nice? This is what is on the books now in op:

Why don't they just outlaw sex, that kills more people than Dog bites!

That's a massive exaggeration look at the background of my posts if you think so. Then again Laz is cat man so you can see why his opinion may be a little bit skewed.

"Helmuts " what kind of dog breed is this? similar to the "hounds of hell"??
