Pomona does not have breed-specific legislation. CA Food & Agricultural Code Section 31683 generally preempts local breed bans. Dangerous dog laws focus on individual animal behavior, not breed.
California Food and Agricultural Code §31683 preempts all local breed-specific legislation statewide. Pomona cannot ban, restrict, or impose special requirements on any specific dog breed including pit bulls, Rottweilers, or German Shepherds. Dangerous dog designations are entirely behavior-based under California law. The narrow exception under Health & Safety Code §122331 allows breed-specific mandatory spay/neuter programs. HOAs may attempt breed restrictions in CC&Rs but enforceability under state preemption is questionable.
Breed-based ordinances are void under state law. Dangerous dog violations based on behavior: fines, containment requirements, possible euthanasia for severe attacks.
