  Breed Restrictions

  Certain breeds of man's best friend are not so friendly as far as the
  military is concerned. Pit Bulls, Rotweillers and Akitas just a few
  of the breeds of dogs now banned on Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Air
  Field. Dr. Rachel Peeples doesn't live on either post but many of her
  clients and she also owns an Akita. "Never has she ever shown
  aggression toward any person except for the person who broke into my
  house once" says Dr. Peeples. Dr. Peeples admits dog bites are a
  problem but she says a ban on certain breeds is not the
  solution. "All of the studies have been done looking at this
  situation shows that banning breeds does nothing to help out with
  animal bite numbers" she adds.
  But it does increase numbers in pound. The ban on certain breeds on
  Ft. Stewart and hunter army airfields kicks in about two weeks. And
  people here at the liberty humane shelter say they have been taking
  calls from soldiers not sure what to do with their animals. Sandra
  Frye from the Liberty Humane Shelter says, "It stresses me out
  because we're full right now. We take as many as we can but if they
  can't bring them here, what do they do with them?" Dr. Peebles says
  she just doesn't want them to be pre-judged."We tried something
  similar in the human world with racial profiling and we pretty much
  found out it doesn't work." Those already living on post with a
  banned breed of dog noted or their lease will be grandfathered in. If
  the dog is not listed the policy applies. The ban on the breeds
  starts September 1, 2007. The breeds banned on Fort Stewart and
  Hunter Army Airfield include Akita, Boxer, Chow Doberman, Pit Bull,
  Rotweiller, American Staffordshire Terrier, English Staffordshire,
  Bull Terrier, wolf hybrids or any other breed with dominant traits
  gear toward aggression.
