People living in a Lexington neighborhood were notified last week that several dog breeds, including pit bulls, Great Danes and huskies, were being banned.
Homeowners in McConnell’s Trace were sent letters by the neighborhood developer detailing a change in an existing dog restriction, which previously referred only to unspecified “aggressive breeds,†said Josh McCurn, president of the area’s neighborhood association. Now German shepherds, St. Bernards and chows are among the list of 11 dog breeds restricted from the neighborhood.
McConnell’s Trace sits across Leestown Road from Masterson Station Park.
McCurn said the homeowner’s association did not have a vote on the restrictions and did not “write the language.â€...
According to the deed of restrictions for McConnell’s Trace Subdivision, the banned breeds are as follows:
German Shepherds
Rottweilers
Mastiffs
Doberman Pinschers
Pit Bulls (including American Staffordshire Terriers, American Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers and “any dogs containing characteristics of these breedsâ€)
Huskies
Alaskan Malamutes
Chows
Great Danes
St. Bernards
