So, there is a good chance we will be relocating to Miami in the near future. I was just admitted to a really good graduate school program there and it's an amazing opportunity. Of course, after I recieved the offer I discovered that Miami-Dade has a pit bull ban. We are not certain about our dog's breed. Our veterinarians have theorized she's part English mastiff and is either crossed with another breed or has dwarfism. Because the ban is enforced by a visual examination, I'm concerned that her breed may be interpreted as being a pit bull. My questions
oes anyone know if mastiff breeds besides pit bulls are impacted by BSL, especially in Florida?Does anyone know if an area in Florida that doesn't have BSL where we might look for housing? (I would absolutely choose a longer commute to campus if it meant our dog would be able to live with us safely.)Would getting a breed test (or x-rays to confirm her dwarfism) help as a preventative measure?This is the biggest issue in preventing me from accepting my admissions offer, so any insight would be much appreciated.
