Ogden: Rules For Dangerous Dogs Proposed

OGDEN, Utah -- The Ogden City Council will vote on stronger rules for potentially dangerous dogs, but will not single out pit bulls.

The Standard-Examiner of Ogden says that the council will vote Jan. 25.

A potentially dangerous dog would be one that is impounded twice in a 12 month period, attacks a leashed animal or acts in a highly aggressive manner without provocation in a fenced area.

Owners would have to register their dog, implant a microchip and use a special colored collar. Liability insurance for the dog would be required.

Last year, the city council considered rules that targeted pit bulls as dangerous. Those did not pass, and the new proposal is not breed specific.
