It’s Saturday and time to take a look at a few of the blogs I read this week.
If You Own a 100 pound Akita and Not a “Pit Bull” – Your Dog is a Wimp, I guess?!
Breed Specific Legislation doesn’t work. It hasn’t worked in Denver, Ontario or England. Some jurisdictions like the town of Elgin, Illinois are relaxing their stance on Pit Bulls, while other other cities like Omaha Nebraska, as reported by DancingDogBlog.com have instituted new laws requiring all pit bull and other “bully breed” owners to have their dogs leashed and muzzled when outside.
4. Pitbull Restrictions (and other bully breeds)
If you own a pitbull or other bully breed or mix as defined below you will be required to properly leash and muzzle your dog whenever he is outside, unless he is in a securely fenced yard. If you don’t have a fenced yard your dog will be required to be leashed, muzzled, and in control of a person 19 years of age or older any time he is outside your house.
In order to license your pitbull you must be 19 years old and show proof of $100,000 liability coverage. If you don’t follow these regulations you will be guilty of a first strike toward a reckless owner designation. – Nebraska Humane Society
The persecution of the “bully breeds” still continues.

Train Your Dog to Ring the Doorbell
I love this! Mary-Alice, who blogs at DogJaunt.com about her dog Chloe and traveling with her, wrote a post this week about how to train your dog to ensure she doesn’t poop in your hotel room, or any other room while you’re traveling with her. A little bit of training and a set of
Poochie Door Bells and you’re set!
Thunder and Wine
The GoPetFreindly clan has been busy this week with a stop in Sandy Hook, hosting the 4th annual Trenton Thunder Bark in the Park and touring “pet friendly” wineries in the Finger Lakes area where they sampled some interesting (to say the least) named wines – Stoned and Lonesome, Well Hung, and 69 Ways to Have Fun to name a few. :/ Today their relaxing with Reisling and icecream, such a ruff life!
See ya next week!
I'm a dog guardian to Sweety, my 15 year old Border Collie & Zeus a stray American Pit Bull Terrier that I rescued in October of 2009. I write about canine health and nutrition focusing mainly on topics relating to feeding a raw meaty bones diet.
