what you want from the dog immediately. Don't wait till he's six months old
to make the rules. Look down the road to see how behavior is going to impact you
when the dog weighs four times as much as he does now. Think about everyone he
might be in contact with, not just your household. Only
38% of dog [guardians] keep their dogs long-term. 70% of the dogs euthanized
at shelters are there for "behavior problems." More dogs' lives are

Does
a Breed Ban (BSL) really work? According
to the Center For Disease
Control (CDC) ~
"Breed-specific legislation does not address the fact that a dog ~ "An alternative to breed-specific legislation is to regulate individual dogs and owners on the basis of their behavior. Although, it is not systematically reported, our reading of the fatal bite reports indicates that problem behaviors (of dogs and owners) have preceded attacks in a great many cases and should be sufficient evidence for preemptive action. Approaches to decreasing dangerous dog and owner behaviors are numerous." ~ "Generic nonbreed-specific, dangerous dog laws can be enacted that place primary responsibility for a dog's behavior on the owner, regardless of the dog's breed." ~ "teaching owners about the importance of socialization and training may decrease their likelihood of owning a dog that will eventually bite." Some people feel that if dogs such as Pit Bulls are banned, this will alleviate the majority of the problem. This only affects law abiding and responsible dog owners, however; because those with malicious intentions will still acquire them in spite of a ban. Best Friends Animal Society has proved numerous times that breed bans just do not work; here is just one example: http://network.bestfriends.org/stopbsl/news/19432.html It appears that the answer is clear; if Florida considered incentives for owners to spay/neuter their dogs, plus various programs to help owners in socialization and training, and focused on creating (as well as enforcing) stronger laws which held the owner responsible for the acts of their dog, the state of Florida could be a safe place for all concerned.
