Kentucky neighborhood bans Danes, Dobermanns, German Shepherds, St. Bernards and more
Lexington Herald Leader ^ | 4-9-18 | Morgan Eads And Cheryl Truman

People living in a Lexington neighborhood were notified last week that several dog breeds, including pit bulls, Great Danes and huskies, were being banned. Homeowners in McConnell’s Trace were sent letters by the neighborhood developer detailing a change in an existing dog restriction, which previously referred only to unspecified “aggressive breeds,” said Josh McCurn, president of the area’s neighborhood association. Now German shepherds, St. Bernards and chows are among the list of 11 dog breeds restricted from the neighborhood. McConnell’s Trace sits across Leestown Road from Masterson Station Park.

McCurn said the homeowner’s association did not have a vote on the restrictions and did not “write the language.”

What ‘dog expert’ included Great Danes and St. Bernards in this ban - and was it just because they’re ‘big’???

Ping to doggie list

As a point of clarity, I have a Golden Retriever who is impossible. I don’t think breed, alone, predicts the behavior of a dog. I’ve known GSDs, Rottweilers, and Mastiffs that are a sweet as big babies.

And when you get into “mixed” breeds, how can you tell without a DNA test? I’ve noticed that our local Humane Society, that publishes a “dog of the week” ready for adoption in the local newspaper no longer guesses at a dog’s heredity. Too many nice pitbulls were languishing at the shelter.

I guess, ive never seen A Great Dane get even a little agressive. A Saint Bernard would rather sleep.

I want a Lurcher; but not till I’m retired and out of this small apartment :-)

The sweetest dog I ever met was a Bernese.

Probably because they fall into the molossoid phylum of canine. Big dogs.

Chihuahuas are the most aggressive dogs ever.

Good. It looks like Wolf-German Shepherd mixes are allowed. All the dog lovers should get a pack and walk them to the Homeowner’s Association meetings.

Indeed, breed alone does not. But some types of dog have been bred for dogfighting for hundreds of years.
