No specific animal breeds are forbidden on base, but animals that are deemed vicious are not allowed to stay in base housing, according to base order 10570.1B.

This is a bad idea.

A military base is is one of the few places where this kind of stuff can be prevented simply by prohibiting pit bulls and a few other "unpredictable" breeds.

I hope the commander has the cojones to change this policy.

Some dogs have no place in a community. If you want to have one go live by yourself in the back woods.

And how many children does an animal have to kill before it is deemed vicious?

I’m curious to know what other breeds you would consider ‘unpredictable’.

I know this is from almost a year ago but I just came acrossed your comment. I think it is pretty hillarious. I hate when people come downon the breed. It is all how they are raised. It’s called ignorant people!!!!!!! I must admit I too was against pitbulls at one point in time well all dogs actually. I have been attacked by 2 dogs in my life one being a golden retreiver and another being a little tiny thing I’m not sure what it was. But I am now the proud owner of two beautiful pits. I have a 9 month old and a 4 month old. They are the best dogs ever. They are so loving and friendly. We made sure to socialize them right from the get go. They love everybody and love playing with other animals. I have 3 kids that they just love sooo much. We also have 4 cats and they all just love playing with each other. Ok I won’t make this any longer. In my opinon from experience they are great dogs!!!!!!
