The over 21 thing applied to Pit Bulls. Only people over 21 would have been allowed to handle them. The over 40 thing applied to all breeds. No dog over 40 lbs could be off leash outside of its yard. That would have meant no more hunting, schutzhend, herding (competition and actual working) no competitive obedience, rally, agility or fly ball for dogs over 40 lbs. Diane BISS Ch.
