Central Daylight Time Subj: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Michigan - GSD BSL, statewide? I don't have all the information yet, but a bill introduced (HB 4714) is proposing statewide BSL and rumors are that the list will go way beyond the Saginaw proposed ordinance. The list is rumored to include Pit bull and Bull types , mixes of such, and many large breeds, including GSDs Rotties, Dalmatians, etc. Michigan people, please check it out and report back.
