High Point regulates potentially dangerous dogs based on behavior rather than breed. Dogs that have attacked or behaved aggressively are subject to dangerous dog designation with specific confinement and insurance requirements.
NC law (Chapter 67 Article 1A) provides the framework for dangerous dog declarations. Dogs declared potentially dangerous or dangerous must be registered, securely confined, and the owner must maintain liability insurance. There are no breed-specific bans. The determination is based on the individual dog's behavior.
Owners of dangerous dogs who fail to comply face criminal charges and potential forfeiture of the animal.
