Victorville does not ban dog breeds. California Food and Agricultural Code Section 31683 preempts breed-specific legislation, but the city can apply breed-neutral dangerous dog rules under VMC Title 7.
Victorville does not have a breed-specific ban. Under California Food and Agricultural Code Section 31683, California local governments are preempted from adopting breed-specific legislation that declares a dog dangerous or vicious based solely on breed, though the statute does allow breed-specific mandatory spay-neuter or breeding regulations adopted as local ordinances. Victorville instead relies on breed-neutral dangerous and vicious dog provisions in VMC Title 7 and state law, which apply to any dog that bites a person or domestic animal without provocation or that is kept for fighting. A hearing officer can declare a dog potentially dangerous or vicious regardless of breed, requiring secure enclosure, muzzle when off-property, warning signs, liability insurance in some cases, and possible removal. Landlords and insurers may still impose their own breed restrictions separate from city law. Rottweilers, pit bull type dogs, huskies, and German shepherds are all legal to own in Victorville.
