In Ontario any dog that is a "pit bull type" must wear a muzzle when outside and must be fixed. Any of the breeds mentioned below or have a similar appearance of the breeds mentioned below is banned from entering Ontario, if you do bring the dog into Ontario you can face a fine and your dog being confiscated and destroyed. If animal control or policeeven think your dog looks to be of pit bull type they can confiscatethe dog unless you have papers to prove the dog isn't a pit bull.The following breeds are banned;
- American Staffordshire Terrier
- American Pit Bull Terrier
- Any dogs that have an appearance and physical characteristics that are substantially similar to the breeds posted above
AC and the police have confiscated dogs that are purebred Labs or Jack Russels, demanding that they are pit bulls. Its completly stupid. You can't even travel through Ontario if you have a pit bull type dog or a dog that has similar looks to one, if you do you run the risk of losing your dog and never getting it back.
In New Brunswick there is a bill trying to be passed now that would ban the following breeds;
- American Staffordshire Terrier
- Akita
- Rottweiler
There is also this bit of information. It was last updated in 2004 so I'm not sure about some of it, but its something to go by at least.
