Aggressive Dog Breeds I am moving back to Houston, Texas in April and I am going to rent my first year there. I am hearing about some "Aggressive Dog Breed Restrictions" due to home owners associations and insurance. I am bringing back a Doberman Pincher. Anyone know if he will be considered on "the list" in Texas. Thanks

APBT's do have a bad rap, but they ARE used for fighting, cant deny that... and once they are "turned on" you cant reverse that ****...
i love the staffordshires, american bully's and other large "aggressive" breeds, but there is no denying that ALOT of people use them for the wrong thing....
so in essence there is a GOOD reason they get a bad rap.... just sayin

The reason that ANY of the breeds get a bad rep is completely wrong, anyone that has even a small amount of knowledge on the subject should understand that. Only someone ignorant on the subject would think there was good reason.
The only thing correct in your post is that pits are used for fighting, like many other breeds.
If you love them, educate yourself.

I looked into this. I have 2 pits and am looking into buying a house at the end of this year.
There is no "aggresive dog list" in Texas. Your dog has to be deemed aggresive by authorities according to guidelines. This happens after it bites someone.
Not sure about the homeowners associations or insurance though. Im sure there are some hippie HOA's out there that banned pits. Probably not Dobermans though.
I don't think you have to tell your homeowner's insurance about your dog. But if you don't and it bites someone, you're most likely fucked.
I know Madisonville banned pits. And Garland has some restrictions.

Homeowner's insurance varies. A lot of them specifically exclude Pits, Rotts, Dobermans, Chows, and a few others. The fact that Dobermans are on the "usual suspects" list is absurd. They are one of the most intelligent and loyal breeds there is and they make fantastic family pets.

Chows are awesome dogs, best dog I ever had. If people would just keep their dogs in a fenced area, or on a leash half of attacks on human's would not happen. That goes with any breed.

I promise almost every single pit Incident is reported, shockingly (insert sarcasm), they aren't high up on the "annual attack list".
I will walk up and pet a random pit without fear quicker than ANY other breed, yes Including and especially 10# lap dogs.

Yes, you can reverse "that ****". Vast majority of the dogs used to fight don't want to fight, they are forced/tortured to. Therefore it is extremely easy for someone trained to reverse it in just a few hour long sessions with the dog and owner. Most can "tame" a dog that people say nobody can get close to in about fifteen minutes.

You are no different than the Ignorant reporters that make outlandish, incorrect claims giving many breeds a horrible and inaccurate uneducated rap all over the world.
You getting under my skin? I did not insult you or your post at all in my reply, I touched all of your incorrect comments with correct facts about the breed. I own two pits and my mother is a vet of 20 years, I deal with ignorant people on this subject on a regular basis.. Whatever makes you think you or your misinformed comments are any different than anyone else is beyond me. Remember, you retaliated with calling my post bull **** and telling me to move along, after I responded with facts to your first post full of misinformed incorrect info and opinions. You sure I didn't get under your skin?

I agree with the fact that any list "banning" a dog breed is a farce, but in some instances, whereby an owner cant handle said breed and got it for, lets say the "coolness" factor, and lives in a densely populated area where kids could* get hurt, some regulation should be laid out. Sometimes owning a pet like this is a big liability... Rules are only put into place by stupid people that do stupid ****. Street racing is another example of this same type of Legislature, but thats an entirely different topic...

All kidding aside, these rules are ridiculous. I've met plenty of good dogs and bad dogs on "the list", and it's 100% about how the owner raised and disciplined the dog. People also confuse "protective" with "aggressive". If you're wandering around my house and get near the fence, I would hope my dog would bark. The question is, is the dog barking, "GET AWAY FROM MY MASTER'S STUFF!" or "GET OVER HERE AND RUB MY BELLY!"? Either way, it's likely to scare off a potential burglar.
Whatever happened to having a BEWARE OF DOG sign and calling it a day?

also, its very difficult to "re-program" a dog once its been taught to do something. takes a good deal of positive reinforcement and conditioning. and even then you can never be certain. ive got a dog that was treated rather badly before i found her. she still goes apeshit when she sees strangers, and we've been working with her for 2 years now.
