This is NOT TRUE.  Here’s a response from the AKC Manager of Canine Legislation:

Marion,

Thanks for forwarding this. Jennifer Clark in our office has spoken to city staff and this is false.  Here is what she emailed to another concerned citizen earlier today. Please feel free to repost on the lists.

 I spoke with the Cumberland County Animal Control today, as well as County staff, and have been informed that there is no breed ban going into effect on December 5.  The local Animal Control Board (which is an advisory board) met on October 3 and made a recommendation to limit the adoption of Rottweilers, Am Staffs, “Pit Bulls”, Chows, Presa Canarios, and “any mix of these breeds”, but it is my understanding that no policy has been officially brought before the County Commission for approval.    County staff informed me today that the issue will not be on the County Commission agenda at their December 5 meeting.

 We have also learned that the Animal Control Board will also meet on December 5.  It is unknown what will be on their agenda.  If they decide to bring forward this recommendation again, it must then be sent to the County Commission Policy Committee and then the full  Board of Commissioners for approval before it can become law. I would recommend letting the County Commission know that you are concerned with breed specific legislation and ask them politely to oppose any proposal they may encounter that would discriminate against specific breeds of dogs.

 If you have any other questions, or I can provide further information or assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.


Regards,

Jennifer Clark
