I've spent about 10 years working in the animal world between Veterinary, stores, and dog training... (Other peoples animals are total ass holes, I had to switch to people) My list of dogs I've been bitten by doesn't include a single bully breed.
German Shepherd, Cairn Terrier, Kelpie, Border Collie, Golden, Chihuahua, Shih tzu, Daxi, Bichon, Pug, Frenchie, Heck almost every small breed, Basenji, Shiba Inu, Formosan Mtn Dog, husky.... I'm sure I've forgotten half....
Montreal is just following other cities and provinces like a sheep. The BSL is nothing new. I'm in Parksville and we have it, Next door in Qualicum they don't. Nanaimo has it as well, however if your "bully" passes the Canine good neighbour test, Nanaimo will treat them like a regular dog and no muzzle needed.
The whole province of Ontario. Burnaby, Coquitlam.... Lots of local cities on the Mainland and all over our country have it. Nanaimo is the only city that I'm aware of that will waive the ban if you have the Canine good neighbour. You shouldn't have to get it, but still...
My girls been an Active volunteer at the Royal Columbian Hospital for 7.5 years. Every time I go back to the mainland I have my mother take her in for a visit since I don't have volunteer status anymore, but she does.
My favourite thing is when somebody is petting her, and she's pretty much taken over their lap, that person usually starts some sort of dog conversation. "..... Oh those bloody pit bulls, I would NEVER trust one! I will never let one near me or my family!...." Like are you seriously too dense to see whats on your lap?
Heres "Vicious" and our Disabled cat as a kitten.
