Any breed can be designated dangerous by the appropriate animal control agency, and no breed is presumed dangerous without that designation. 100 requires its owner to obtain a dangerous animal permit and follow all of the permit's requirements. The section also closes the obvious loophole: an animal deemed dangerous by the animal control agency must follow all of the provisions of the title regardless of whether a dangerous animal permit is currently held, so skipping or abandoning the permit does not lift a single restriction.
