dogs

we have a pitbull we travel with. have seen some private campgrounds, that wont allow them. when we were tent camping. saw where david travels with a shepherd. dont think they are considered a dangerous breed anymore. anyone with info on this would be helpful. or i guess we just need to call ahead and check like we usually do.all ky state campgrounds allow them as long as you keep them leashed like all dogs.

I have a probable staffordshire bull terrier ("probable" since she was a stray) and at 45 lbs, she looks like a mini pitbull.  I have found that the private campgrounds are the most likely to have breed restrictions.   Most of the state and national parks that I have been too (limited to NC/SC/Va/WVA/KY) just have leash  regulations.   I always check the websites prior to getting my hopes up about a particular campground.  It upsets me greatly to see these restrictions as this dog is very sweet to all people. 

As was stated its best to call ahead.

I have an American Eskimo dog which some campgrounds have banned.  Actually it is not the campgrounds but the insurance carriers that have the rules.  As with any breed of dog the training of the owners is how the dog reacts.  Mine is always on a leash while outside and is fine if left alone.  I need to warn kids running up not too.

I didn't realize how absurd the pit bull restrictions are in Ontario: its actually illegal to bring pit bulls into Ontario - even if you're just visiting.  Here's a link to the Ministry of the Attorney General's site.
