Coweta County has no breed-specific ban. Dangerous and vicious dogs are classified by behavior under Chapter 10, Article VIII, which implements Georgia's Responsible Dog Ownership Law (O.C.G.A. § 4-8-20 et seq.). No breed is restricted by name.
Coweta County regulates dangerous dogs by conduct, not breed. Chapter 10, Article VIII carries out Georgia's dangerous and vicious dog law, O.C.G.A. § 4-8-1 et seq., and the county's animal services officers serve as dog control officers under the Responsible Dog Ownership Law, O.C.G.A. § 4-8-20. A dog is classified dangerous or vicious based on bites and attacks, not appearance, and no breed, pit bull or otherwise, is banned or restricted by name. A classified dog must be kept in a proper, escape-proof enclosure, and state law adds registration, microchipping, and liability-insurance duties for vicious dogs. Georgia leaves breed rules to localities, and Coweta has chosen a purely behavior-based framework.
Keeping a classified dog without the required enclosure, registration, or, for a vicious dog, state-mandated insurance violates Article VIII and can bring impoundment, misdemeanor citation, and penalties under section 10-38.
