Thanks for all the replies and all the readings of this thread; however, I feel my message is going right over the heads of our members (please forgive me), as all I am hearing are little bits and pieces of stories of this and that...the only person, or group of people who can enforce a breed ban in a command, or on a military installation are commanders.

What I am asking, no pleading, for military members who own so-called "dangerous dogs" is to start taking a stand--step up to the plate--get involved--and attempt to stop it BEFORE it continues. I know for a FACT every base has a Vet clinic, a Community Center, a Housing Unit, and Military Police. The very least you can do is inquire about forming training promgrams, what is being briefed during Right Starts, how can housing enforce pet regulations already on the books, ask if Dog Bite Prevention courses can be formed, ect.... If your base doesn't have a problem, then be proactive...if it does have a problem then be part of the solution. It really is not that difficult.
