What dog breeds other than Pit Bulls were banned from public housing in New York?

Pit bulls are now Public Enemy No.1 at city housing projects. Starting Friday, the powerful popular breed that’s sometimes trained to be violent is banned from all apartments run by the city Housing Authority. “Finally someone is realizing that these potentially dangerous animals have no place in a confined urban space,” said City Councilman Peter Vallone (D-Queens), who has unsuccessfully lobbied state legislators to ban the dogs. The Housing Authority regulations also bar residents from owning any dog over 25 pounds. The current policy allows dogs that weigh up to 40 pounds. In addition, owning Rottweilers and Doberman pinschers also is banned under the new rules.

Pit bulls and other popular breeds of dogs will be banned from all apartments run by the city Housing Authority starting this Friday. “Finally someone is realizing that these potentially dangerous animals have no place in a confined urban space,” City Councilman Peter Vallone told The New York Daily News. Vallone is not exactly a pit bull lover, having unsuccessfully lobbied state legislators to ban the dogs in the past. Pit bulls are often trained to be violent, but owners defended the breed saying it’s the owner, not the dog that makes them a threat. “It all depends on how you teach a dog,” said pit bull owner Anthony Nieves. “My dog is like a puppy.” Pit bulls aren’t the only dogs being targeted by the Housing Authority. The new regulations are also specifically banning Dobermans and Rottweilers as well as any dog weighing over 25 pounds. The previous policy banned dogs weighing up to 40 pounds.
