German shepherds, other breeds banned from dog event - SignOnSanDiego.com

"Rin Tin Tin" is not welcome at Petco Park. The German shepherd breed is one of as many as 15 that can’t take part in the San Diego Padres’ annual Dog Days of Summer promotion at the ball park."

Why I outta !!! The LA Dodgers had something like that but called "Bark in the Park" which was at other stadiums, but I don't they think they had any breed bans.

Thats just wrong!! That guy deserves his money back!! I think PETCO should have the Padres change their park's name if they are going to be like that.But thats just me.

I feel sorry for Joey and his owner and anyone else that had to put up with this. Joey looks so cute and innocent. Thank Dog I am an Angels fan.

We have something like that here in Chicago too, a "Dog Day" White Sox game where you can bring your dog. They allow any breeds at theirs though. I've wanted to go for years but it's always sold out before I think of signing up for tickets. I never understood why they don't expand it (they only have a limited number of passes for the "dog zone" section) since it always sells out so quickly!

Shame on the Padres!

This is what pit bull owners go thro every day. BSL is BS. No BIG dog is safe. If pits are baned evry were. Sheppies will be next and dobes and what ever big strong breed there is.

Not surprising at all... kind of funny, our local Petsmart's trainer uses her American Bully for training... I can understand restricting fighting breeds coming to a place packed with other dogs, only if the dogs were shown to be under good control could they come - just me.

But I think this is ridiculous...

Yes, as we are facing mandatory spay spay/neuter proposals in my small town, I looked at other MO towns.

One town bans Pits, Rottweilers, Dobermans and German Shepherds from their municipality.

Many months ago I warned people on this message board that there was a growing discrimination against dogs like GSD’s and that we should defend the rights of the owners of breeds like pit bulls that don’t fight, breed or encourage their dogs to be aggressive. We should try to filter out bad people and bad dogs; not an entire breed. Now one breed is more and more becoming several breeds and more widespread and more extreme; just as I predicted. Many here scoffed at what I said.
How come it’s politically correct to be prejudice against a breed of dog? What if we applied the same logic to humans?
Analogy: What if we started to ban people from this ballpark dog day in a similar fashion? What if we started banning people from the ballpark; based on their race, sex, sexual orientation, handicap or religion?
　
It reminds me of:

"THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

Does the town have German shepherd police dogs? Are the GSD police and GSD security dogs also banned from the ballpark? Chihuahuas are more vicious than GSDs; or they also banned? Are Chihuahuas as good for chasing down, physically detaining and capturing suspects?
