: )  the concern is our breed will be a target in the future.  Already a town 
in the state of WA has deemed the Kuvasz a dangerous dog.  Now tell 
me how many general dog folks can tell the difference in the Kuvasz, 
the Anatolian, the Great Pyr, to some they are all BWD's.  Also a city in 
Kansas has ruled that any dog over 100 lbs is a dangerous dog.  Dogs 
over 100 lbs must be muzzled and on lead at all times when off their 
property.  This hysteria is insane!  Not to mention the LGD's that are 
considered dangerous dogs in Europe.  I have no idea if  j Shire's family 
moved for a new job,  or if the company transferred them to a new 
location. Not clear in all I have read.   Shire's family was aware of BSL 
and made proper inquiries. The governing bodies as well as the 
employer will not comment on this issue. Seems these folks have no 
recourse.  ??
