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.

A St Bernard is a piece of furniture that eats and poops.
Hm. Don’t think so.
Kentucky is one of the states which defines a wolf hybrid as a wild animal and restricts private ownership.
Some breeds are getting to be rather costly, and that trend will continue upward.
Insuring pit bulls, State Farm pays out double the norm for dog attacks

If it’s not a Dobermann, it’s just a dog.
Yeah, and those white little yappy things.
They really need to ban Swedes and other Scandinavians as well.

St. Bernards forever !!
(don’t have one now, but grew up with one, the most wonderful lovable doggie ever)
How about a borzoi. They’re beautiful.
Wasn’t Cujo a Saint Bernard?
A neighborhood has run amuck and seized power
It is possible that someone wishes to either confuse the dangerous breed issue by including as many breeds as possible (while binge-watching Cujo) or has just gone overboard while including a dog breed of a despised neighbor.
I would investigate the developer and his business and political, and entertainment ties exhaustively before venturing an answer. I guess Facebook is good for something.
LOL!
An excellent lolling, shedding, drooling, farting, couch-stealing reminder of the need for colonoscopies!
Almost sounds like they are sick of the monstrous piles of dog shiite the bigger breed dump all over the place and owners will not pick it up.
Everyone should get Irish Wolfhounds.”””
Great Pyrannese -—They will guard the sheep & go after ANY predator. Great with kids.
“They really need to ban Swedes and other Scandinavians as well.”
Well, that lets me out.
yeah, I guess so, I never read or saw that book/movie but I do recall something about a rabid St. Bernard. Well rabies can send any mammal off it’s rocker, so that is hardly a fair test of the breed! Anyway, that was fiction.... hee hee.
LOL!
Uff da
