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 McConnells 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 areas neighborhood association. Now German shepherds, St. Bernards and chows are among the list of 11 dog breeds restricted from the neighborhood. McConnells Trace sits across Leestown Road from Masterson Station Park.
McCurn said the homeowners 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.
Everyone should get Irish Wolfhounds.

I guess, ive never seen A Great Dane get even a little agressive. A Saint Bernard would rather sleep.
No worries for me- I have an Alsatian.
Scooby Doo hardest hit.
Great Danes...? Ive never met one that wasnt a complete softy...
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.
“A Saint Bernard would rather sleep.”
They bring you whiskey!

So owners are supposed to do what? Relinquish? FU!
German Shepherd Dog
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.
St Bernards?
Indeed, breed alone does not. But some types of dog have been bred for dogfighting for hundreds of years.
