There are typically 5 restricted breeds, however, management groups and owners have expanded their lists. The five restricted breeds are: Shepherds, Chows, Pit Bulls (a.k.a. American Terrier or Staffordshire terrier), Dobermans, and Rottweiler’s. If you have one of these breeds, you are better off by identifying them in advance so your locating specialist can place you at the appropriate community.
