Horace may have breed-specific legislation targeting certain dog breeds. North Dakota does not have a statewide breed ban, leaving regulation to individual municipalities.
Horace may enforce breed-specific ordinances. North Dakota does not preempt local breed-specific legislation. Some communities have restrictions or bans on pit bulls, Rottweilers, or other breeds considered dangerous. NDCC §36-21.2 provides a general dangerous dog framework based on individual behavior rather than breed. Restricted breeds may require additional liability insurance, muzzling in public, and secure enclosures. Some municipalities have moved toward behavior-based dangerous dog ordinances instead of breed bans. Property insurance availability may also be affected by dog breed.
Keeping a restricted breed without compliance: fines of $100 to $500. Dogs may be impounded pending compliance. Repeat violations may result in mandatory rehoming.
