Are there any breed bans in Boulder, Colorado?
Hi there, I’m in Denver… I found this in an article…And rottweilers are not banned anywhere in colorado, just pit bulls. Boulder takes a different approach than Denver does, in terms of handling aggressive dogs. Jan Smith, chief executive officer for Humane Society of Boulder Valley, says the city of Boulder has no breed-specific legislation. In Boulder County, only Louisville prohibits pit bulls. In the city of Boulder, Smith says the shelter uses a temperament evaluation to determine if incoming dogs are aggressive or not. “Essentially, a dog has to pass this temperament test in order to be placed for adoption,” says Smith. “I think it’s worked for us.” She says about two-thirds of the dogs euthanized in Boulder were put down due to aggressive behavior, and one third due to severe health problems.
