Castle Rock has no breed-specific ban. Colorado state law (CRS 18-9-204.5) prohibits regulating dangerous dogs in a manner specific to breed, so no breed is banned in Town. Dogs are regulated by behavior and owner responsibility, not breed.
Colorado's 2004 'ban on bans' (CRS 18-9-204.5) allows municipalities to control dangerous dogs but bars any rule that regulates dangerous dogs in a manner specific to breed. Castle Rock therefore enforces behavior-based dangerous-dog rules under Municipal Code Title 6 rather than breed bans, and no breed (including pit bulls) is prohibited in Town. Owners of any breed remain fully responsible for leashing, licensing, and preventing bites. Rental housing or HOAs may impose their own breed rules independent of Town code.
No breed is banned; instead, dangerous-dog behavior triggers penalties under state law and Title 6, ranging from citations and impound to criminal charges for injuries.
