Columbus does not impose breed-specific bans. Georgia's Responsible Dog Ownership Law uses behavior-based dangerous dog classifications that apply to any breed.
Columbus does not have breed-specific legislation. Georgia's Responsible Dog Ownership Law (OCGA 4-8-20 et seq.) classifies dogs as potentially dangerous or dangerous based on behavior, not breed. Dogs that have bitten or shown aggressive behavior may be declared dangerous. Owners of dangerous dogs must comply with enhanced containment requirements, carry liability insurance, and register the animal. The law applies equally to all dog breeds.
Owners of dangerous dogs who fail to comply with requirements face fines, animal impoundment, and potential criminal charges for serious incidents.
