You cannot change the rules after someone buys the house!
From what I understand; They cannot retroactively change the rules about dogs. Your dogs would have to be "grandfathered in", and the new rule about banning a particular dog after multiple offenses could only (legally) be applied to NEW purchasers. This is only my opinion, and understanding from my experience.

Thanks for sharing! I'm definitly going to look into that and see if that applies here, I hope it does!
What ended up happening in the long run? Did your neighbors finally learn to accept the fact that you going to live there and have a dog, or were they still trying to cause trouble?
