No breed-specific legislation in Clovis. California Food & Ag Code §31683 preempts local breed bans. Dangerous/vicious dog declarations are behavior-based and apply to any breed.
California Food & Agricultural Code §31683 prohibits cities from adopting breed-specific bans on dog ownership. Clovis may only regulate individual dogs declared dangerous or vicious based on behavior under CA F&A Code §31601-31683. Spay/neuter mandates for specific breeds are permitted by state law but Clovis has not adopted one. Insurance companies and landlords may still impose breed restrictions privately.
Dangerous dog violations: confinement orders, muzzle requirements, liability insurance. Vicious dog (prior serious injury): court-ordered destruction possible. Fines vary $100-$1,000+.
