Edit 10/23/10: I found an old news article that indicates Salem ultimately passed breed-specific liability insurance requirements for owners of “pit bulls” and Rottweilers: http://www.areawidenews.com/story/1630898.html But from all indications, the council is considering removing the requirements (or may have already done so).
Second reading will take place during the January city council meeting; if it passes second reading, it will become law.
Breeds to be banned include: American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Bull Terrier, Rottweiler, Chow Chow, wolf-hybrids or “tundra shepherds,” and any dog that appears to be one of these or a mix.
