We implemented a no-breed restriction policy on our communities a couple of years ago. There have been no issues. As with any dog, aggressive behavior needs to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

My Dallas consulting client dropped breed restrictions and pet rent 18 months ago and it has been very successful. Increased occupancy and zero problems.
Just remember please that you should not restrict breeds of service/support animals. And if your insurance company says no, get a new insurance company!!!

Sometimes it doesn't matter what staff believe, it's a matter of what the insurance carrier dictates.
We have one property where all pets have interviews and if they're friendly and tame it doesn't matter which breed the dogs are.
Another property has an insurance provider who tells us which breeds we cannot have.

I know the breed restrictions stem from insurance requirements; owners are not willing to pay higher premiums to allow the restricted breeds that the insurance company has listed. But to your point, I also disagree with breed restrictions and AGREE that the industry could be benefiting from a change in perception of certain breeds. I volunteer and foster for a pitbull rescue and the "breed" is not aggressive, dogs are taught to be aggressive by humans or the dog is experiencing some kind of trauma that is causing the unwelcomed behavior. The behavior would need retraining and is a very possible solution for every dog. It is because humans do not understand dog behavior and what they can do for our dog friends to help them overcome their trauma.

I agree with you Beverly! Great Danes are gentle giants!

It always stuns me that Great Danes are on the "Bad Doggie" list! They're the most precious lap dogs ever. Plus they won't run you down to eat you cause they'd have to give up the best spot on the couch
