HB 2105 Importation and breeding of dogs.
Introduced by: R. Steven Landes | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Importation and breeding of dogs. Repeals Chapter 167 of the 1938 Acts of Assembly, as amended by Chapter 156 of the 1964 Acts of Assembly, which prohibits the importation or breeding of German or Belgian Shepherds in six enumerated counties without first obtaining a special license for these dogs. This is a recommendation of the Virginia Code Commission as part of its annual review of uncodified Acts of Assembly for obsolete provisions in accordance with § 9-77.10:2. This Act directly conflicts with State policy, which classifies dogs individually according to their propensity to attack rather than by their particular breed.
