Pointe Coupee Parish appears to be moving forward with BSL that would affect owners of German Shepherds, Dobermans, Rottweilers, Boxers, Akitas, Chows, and four types of “pit bulls.” They have gone so far as to ask the major city inside the parish (New Roads) to also pass the breed-specific ordinance.

Dog ordinance debated
* By EMILY HOLDEN
* Special to The Advocate
* Published: May 26, 2010 – Page: 4BNEW ROADS — […] Under an Animal Control Committee proposal, German shepherds, Doberman pinschers, Rottweilers, boxers, Akitas, chow chows and pit bulls would be subject to the ordinance.
The Police Jury decided to ask New Roads to adopt a similar animal-control ordinance because the proposed parish ordinance would not supersede city, town and village laws.

Police Jury postpones pit bull ban vote
By KORAN ADDO
Advocate Westside bureau
Published: Apr 28, 2010 – Page: 4BNEW ROADS — […]
After the discussion, Young offered his motion to ban pit bull ownership, but he was voted down when other police jurors advised him that the parish would have to hold a public hearing before the ban could take effect.
Jurors Joseph “Bozo” Bergeron Sr., Melanie Bueche, Glenn Ray Cline, Cornell Dukes, Kurt Jarreau, Allen Monk, Clifford Nelson, Willie Olinde and John “Sassy” Pourciau voted instead to postpone action on the issue and allow the Animal Control Committee more time to come up with a recommendation.
Jurors Albert “Dewey” Dukes and Young voted against setting the issue aside.
