I have to post a message introducing myself before I can post anything of note. I have a 4 year old dog. Mixed breed. We were forced to produce breed verification or have him seized today. I came here looking for similar stories in my area (I've been here less than a month) as apparently this is rampant. My original post was deleted for not introducing myself. So.... I'm introducing myself.

I apologize if I come across as rude. I really don't feel comfortable sharing much more detail than that especially about my dog due to the situation we've been in.

Hope this counts as an introduction so I can try to connect with some people in similar scenarios in my area.

Are you referring to breed legislation of some sort in your area?

Strange, I posted several times here before officially introducing myself... I didn't think it was a requirement.

I assume you are referring to breed legislation.
I don't know what area your in, and I don't really have any advice about your post, but just wanted to say welcome and I sure hope your dog does not get seized!

We had a cat recently named Bosco )
Unfortunately he ingested antifreeze and is no longer with us. But the name means a lot.

Will you be able to verify his breed? Breed legislation is really a really infuriating concept. Anyone who knows dogs knows it's the owner behind the dog, not the breed that makes an aggressive dog and banning breeds is unfair. I can see the side of people who want to stop pit fighting scenarios, but I don't think banning breeds in the answer...
Anyway, please let us know how things go!
