Breed-specific legislation (BSL) is designed to place restrictions on ownership of certain breeds of dogs. Typically, the restricted breeds include pit bull-type dogs (usually vaguely defined), followed by Rottweilers. Other breeds may include German Shepherds, Chow Chows, Presa Canarios, Dobermans, Cane Corsos, Huskies, Boxers, and mixes of these.
Breed-specific legislation creates a number of restrictions or regulations on any one breed. Owners of certain breeds of dogs may be required to:
-Keep the dog muzzled in public
-Purchase insurance for the dog
-Keep the dog on its owner's property at all times (no trips to the park, the store, etc.)
-Keep the dog in a specific enclosure at all times.
The most common kind of breed-specific legislation completely bans all dogs of a certain breed. This means that all dogs of the banned breed must be removed from the area or euthanized. (This is from www.stopbsl.com)

Can a service dog be labeled Vicious because of its breed?
This is the hazard of breed-specific legislation - perfectly friendly and sociable dogs are suddenly labeled "vicious" or "dangerous" because they are visually identified as being related to a particular breed. Unfortunately, there is breed-specific legislation in muncipalities and cities around the United States and often the public supports these because there is a common belief that "pit bulls are bad and aggressive". The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) does not support breed-specific legislation - you can pull up their position statement from their web site (www dot avma dot org). Unfortunately, even though your dog may be a registered service animal and model canine citizen, because of his conformation the laws or ordinances of your locality have legally identified the dog as vicious.
