How many dogs are you allowed? In your city, is there a bylaw of how many dogs per household. I think there is one around here of two dogs per household? I know I should know more about this since I took legal courses but I don't remember learning too much about this, I know I am going to have to call and figure it out but in the mean time I thought I'd see what everyone else has to say and how they deal with it if they are over their limit? I know that in the future I want another yorkie but my fiancee also wants his "manly" dog. That would make us over the limit :confused: |
i believe it is three for our limit here |
I believe it's 3 in my area. However if you have or want more you have to apply for a kennel license. I've never needed to do this & don't know what that entails. So you might want to inquire about that. |
I've lived in PA and VA. I know in both places the normal before they require that you purchase a kennel license is four dogs. I've always had 3 so I've never pushed it to see what the city would do. But the city I'm in now doesn't interfer much in citizen's lives as it's a very small community. I've seen dogs running my neighborhood daily, people with junkin their yards, people burning and they do nothing to correct it, so sorry if this wasn't much help. I would think that three would be ok. How's Strormy? |

My fiancee is looking into getting himself a dog. Hes got his mind set on it, things are alot better for us financially right now and he is REALLY looking into another dog for himself, one he can run and wrestle with. :rolleyes: I don't mind, I love animals, but I know I WANT ANOTHER YORKIE!!! :p So I said if I can have another one eventually he can get what he wants lol So it's a deal lol but I am definitely not looking for another yorkie til we move into a bigger place so within the year or so. We will see. |
That's so great!!! Just remember you have to give and take in the human relationships ;o) Hummmm, why can guys be like dogs....never asking for much....LOL Seriously, I understand him wanting a "manly" dog. Just tell him to go to your local animal control or SPCA and look around. Maybe he'll find a new best friend there. Are you involved in that decission at all? It'd be nice if you both love the breed as I'm sure you'll be helping to care for the new addition. I totally understand wanting more than one Yorkie. They are such awesome beings. I'm inlove with the breed now that I have Barley and couldn't imagine another small breed comparing. If you have any recent photos of Stormy we'd all love to see her. Maybe you should start a new thread with that one though as tons of us have followed her story. So wonderful to have such a great happy ending. Great to hear from you!!!! Oh, how's your mother's yorkie? |

As for the manly dog, he has his heart set on one breed and that breed ONLY lol He really wants a Bull terrier, not a pitbull. They are pretty rare around this area and he's been searching for a while, actually even before we got Stormy he was looking, just hasn't found "the one" yet. lol |
We can have two. |
i live right on the line of frisco & mckinney (TX) and mckinney has a stupid rule and frisco does not. :rolleyes: :( we are allowed 4 in mckinney. and frisco is about 150 feet from my front door. my vet asked me how many i had (because i am kind of new to going to him - just found him a few months ago) because he has not seen them all yet. i said :eek: not sure if i should say! LOL. he said he was not animal control or the cops and he doubted they would ever come knocking when my dogs' total weight is less than 24 lbs :p lol |

haha that is pretty funny! But so true lol |
There's a 3 dog limit per property currently in most municipalities in BC with a some going towards 2 dogs and even certain municipalities restricting cat ownership to 2 as well. This applies to detached homes. Now with townhouses and condominiums, there are restrictions per strata regulations. They're generally more strict and this is not including landlords' wishes/contracts. I remember back in the day, we used to have a 4 dog limit. |
I don't know if my city has any laws about how many dogs we can have, but I know my boyfriend would NOT want more than one dog...lol. That's fine with me though b/c i'm happy with Bailey :) |
Lol, they should do it by pounds, like you can have 100 pounds of dog. :D |

I can see a herd of Yorkies rushing the mailman now. ROFL __________________ HA HA HA HA :lol tears |
I've never heard of any limit here. We don't really have a stray problem around here or anything, so they really don't seem to care which is nice. :) |
You really need to check your county, city and HOA rules. Around here, the county has a 6 dog limit before a kennel license is needed. (Ooops!) I don't know what my HOA says, but I have 4 dogs (2 Yorkies, 1 Westie and an elderly Pitty) - but no one has ever complained, so I guess it's OK. However, right across the street is a pod of "club houses" within our subdivision that has its own rules and regs, which state they can only have 1 dog under 30 lbs. Strictly enforced. 3 Yorkies (well under 30 lbs.) would be grounds for lawsuits. So, it all depends. BTW, Bull Terriers are rare ANYwhere! If you bring a pup in to your home and it's not the "first" dog, he will learn to live peacefully with the Yorks because they will teach him the ropes. |

Now if a herd rushed me, I'd have to take them home to live with me! :D |

Before we moved here I read that the limit was 3. We had 4. I called the city clerk's office and asked about it and was told that we had to "get rid" of a dog. RIGHT, I told her to come to my house and pick which one she was going to try and tear away from me. We moved here anyway....I walked into Animal Control with my Yorkie Dog Log (my 3 ring binder with all of the vet, health, license, microchip & AKC info in page sleeves with dividers for each of them) and licensed all 4 of them with no problem. We were down to 3 for a year, kept Jack from Sunnie's last litter & I went to AC in Feb and licensed him (#4) with no problem. |

I know a yorkie breeder that just had the city tell them they had to get rid of 2 of 4 dogs, the are in a smaller city not too far from me. I would be devastated to have to decide something like that! |
Here you must have a kennel license if you own more than 5. Previously someone had to report you for anyone to come to your house....now the vets' offices are required to send info to the city when your dog gets their rabies shot. |

I live in Lenoir, NC (Caldwell County)....and i cant find any leash laws or any laws stating how many dogs one residences can have. The only law i can find is that all cats and dogs must be vaccinated for rabies yearly after 4months of age. If any one knows more about this area regarding such laws please let me know...i cant find much of anything. |
Here in Omaha, the number of animals allowed in one household is 3 dogs and 5 cats. You can however apply for a pet avocation permit ($100 initial fee and $50 per year after) which allows a person 5 dogs and up to 6 cats, but not more than 8 animals. I had 4 yorkies at one point and had to apply for the permit & pay the fee. The AC people actually had to come to the house to "inspect" it and the yard. Of course I passed easily.:p At the moment I have 3 yorkies, so I'm good to go for two more.:D I don't exactly like that I have to pay a pet fee, especially when then allow a person to have more cats than dogs:mad:, but I will do what I have to & consider it my donation to the humane society. |
