The City of Dorval is backtracking after it proposed new rules calling for muzzles and other restrictions for a dozen types of dog breeds.

It's back to the drawing board for Quebec's provincial breed-specific dangerous dog ban.

Bans on pit bulls and other large dogs have had little effect on serious dog bites, communities around the world have seen.

The Montreal Dog Fest is mostly fun and games for dogs and their owners, but some groups are also using it as a platform to denounce breed-specific legislation.

A homeless man is questioning Montreal's animal bylaw after he was given a ticket for his "pit bull" type dog.

Dozens of dog owners marched the streets of Toronto as part of Global Anti BSL day, which protest breed specific legislation that targets dogs like pit bulls.

Protesters are urging the Quebec government to back down on its proposed dangerous dog legislation arguing that what is needed is more education, not more rules targeting specific breeds.

Chateauguay mayor Nathalie Simon is moving to reverse the city's decades-old pit bull ban, saying breed-specific legislation doesn't work.

The Montreal SPCA says the Quebec government’s dangerous dog bill will have “catastrophic consequences.”

Quebec intends to eventually ban pit bulls on its territory.
