So, there is a dog park opening in my area soon, which is cool because we don't have any 'true' dog parks here, just parks that happen to allow dogs as well, with some off leash areas.
However, this park isn't allowing bully breeds.
Since this is the first facility of it's kind in my area, I wanted to hear from people with experience with dog parks as to if this is typical or not. Yea, the argument can be made that it may be due to insurance, but there are lots of dog daycares in the area who allow all dogs on a case by case evaluation basis, and they don't seem to have an issue getting insured. The people who own the facility have refused to comment on the policy to any news agency and don't want to be talked about in relation to this in general, so no one knows for sure what the reasoning behind it is.
Many people are concerned that the government could use this as justification to create BSL, which worries me if that's true.
