Los Ranchos and Bernalillo County have no breed-specific legislation. New Mexico has no statewide breed ban preemption. Animal regulations focus on behavior (dangerous/aggressive animals) rather than specific breeds.
New Mexico does not preempt breed-specific legislation at the state level. Cities can enact breed bans or restrictions, though few NM cities have done so. NMSA §77-1A-2 to §77-1A-6 provides for behavior-based dangerous dog designations. Owners of dangerous dogs must meet strict containment and registration requirements. Some cities may have additional restrictions on specific breeds. Check Los Ranchos ordinance for any breed-specific provisions.
Breed ban violations: impoundment and fines per city ordinance. Dangerous dog violations: escalating penalties.
