Resolution to any valid complaints

Hello,

This is Michael and Robin Schulder. We would just like to enclose a brief summary regarding breed determination. And I would like anyone that believes that they have a valid claim to contact me as I would like to help reach a fair decision in seeing that everyone is happy.

We would like to resolve 3 disputes, here on this board.

Linda, Danielle, and Julie please contact me.

Kris Foxworthy unfortunately you do not have a valid claim as my wife shipped you a free puppy and let you keep the 1st puppy you received. The fee was for shipping and handling and a carrier.

Summary:

Breed specific legislation is not a practicable approach to regulation of dogs. Breed specific legislation is generally upheld only when it refers to named breeds of dogs and the standards set by breed clubs.

Proving that a particular dog falls within the ordinance usually requires expert testimony.

A licensed veterinarian is not authorized to make a breed determination.

DNA would be alot more helpful in making a determination as to a particular breed.

Application of breed specific ordinances to mixed breed dogs presents both legal and practical difficulties.

Whether even an expert can adequately identify a mixed breed dog is itself subject to controversy.

Regulation defining prohibited dog behavior is probably a more practicable approach than breed specific regulation. Such regulation is more likely to be supported. Properly drafted it has a stronger legal and evidentiary basis. Specificity aids enforcement and understanding of what is necessary to comply.
