I'm appreciative of the fact that their definition of "dangerous" dogs is more reliant on past behaviors of the individual dog than on breed, size or other arbitrary standards.

The confinement rule is pretty sketchy. A lot of very responsible dog owners crate their dogs or keep them in runs or x-pens for a good portion of the day. I would hope that rule is just something they are putting on the books as something they could potentially use against large-scale commercial breeders.

As far as the fees for intact dogs are concerned-- that seems completely reasonable to me. If somebody can't afford $50 for a license for their intact dog, should they be breeding? Breeding incurs a LOT more costs than that if it is being done responsibly.
