Port Hueneme does not impose breed-specific legislation banning any particular dog breed. California state law (Food & Agricultural Code §31683) preempts local breed-specific bans. However, dogs declared dangerous or vicious face additional requirements regardless of breed.
California Food & Agricultural Code §31683 prohibits cities from adopting breed-specific dog regulations. Port Hueneme follows state law by not banning any specific breeds. However, dogs that bite or threaten people may be declared potentially dangerous or vicious under state law (F&AC §31601-31683). Owners of declared dangerous dogs must maintain specific conditions: secure enclosure, $100,000+ liability insurance, microchip, spay/neuter, warning signs, and muzzle in public. Animal Services at (805) 388-4341 manages dangerous dog cases.
While no breed-specific violations exist, owners of declared dangerous or vicious dogs face strict requirements. Failure to comply with dangerous dog conditions can result in impoundment and potential euthanasia orders.
