Bixby does not have breed-specific legislation. Oklahoma state law prohibits breed-specific regulations, requiring dangerous dog laws to be breed-neutral per 4 O.S. §46. A recent court ruling confirmed that even home-rule cities may not pass breed-specific laws conflicting with state law. Dogs are evaluated individually based on behavior.
Oklahoma does not preempt breed-specific legislation. Cities CAN and DO enact breed bans and restrictions. Several Oklahoma cities have banned or restricted pit bulls (American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier) and other breeds. This makes Oklahoma notable among states for allowing breed bans. 4 O.S. §44 et seq. also provides for behavior-based dangerous dog designations. Check Bixby ordinance carefully for any breed-specific provisions.
Breed ban violations: impoundment, fines $100 to $500, possible euthanasia order. Dangerous dog violations: escalating penalties.
