The Tank is Safe

Posted 1 month, 26 days ago on Friday, May 9th, 2008 under Family ยท

Tank is the GF’s dog. Not long after she moved in with me, we started looking into local BSL, and as it turns out, Pit Bull’s are banned in our neck of the woods. I won’t go into how ridiculous I think such bans are, aside from saying I think banning a breed (or, as in the case of Pits, a group of dogs with similar characteristics) is ridiculous. The point of this is to mark the day we found out that Tank is not, in fact, a bully breed, but a Rott/Boxer mix.

They can’t take him away for being a Pit, we have the papers to prove he’s not! Happy day!

BSL is a joke. Makes me glad to live in Lawrence where (most) ignorant legislation is ignored.

How did they determine Tank’s breed? DNA test?

(A guy here at work has a Pit that literally runs from flies. She’s a sweet, if cowardly dog)

I believe it was by parentage, but I’m not 100% on that. It’s worth looking into.
