Oxnard does not have breed-specific legislation banning any dog breeds. California state law (Food & Agriculture Code Β§31683) prohibits breed-specific bans by local governments.
California law prohibits cities from enacting breed-specific bans. Oxnard does not restrict ownership of any particular dog breed including pit bulls, Rottweilers, or other commonly restricted breeds. However, all dogs regardless of breed must be licensed, vaccinated, and kept under control. Dogs that are declared vicious or dangerous are subject to additional requirements under state dangerous dog laws regardless of breed.
While no breed-specific penalties exist, owners of dogs declared dangerous or vicious face strict requirements including muzzling, secure enclosure, and increased liability.
