PetSmart won't take so called "bully" breeds in it's doggie day care. These include:
American Pit Bull Terriers, Miniature Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Bull Dogs, Bull Terriers or mixed breeds that have the appearance or characteristics of one of these breeds).
According to LA Unleashed, this has led to complaints about it from dog owners.
While I understand the concerns about certain breeds due to bad owners, I don't get how a whole breed can be classified as a member of a "bully" breed. Is there any data that they are more dangerous to other dogs?

I would like to know why “Bully Breeds” are not aloud in doggie day care services. For a company that is suppose to be all about pets and understanding pets, PetSmart certainly doesn't understand a thing about dogs. Any responsible dog handler would evaluate a dog interacting with other dogs and people before singling them out just because of the false hysteria about the breed. Most dogs of the “Bully Breed” are the most loving and well behaved (if trained just like any other dog) dogs around. The very idea that PetSmart will not allow a dog in its doggie day care because of its breed proves one thing only. PetSmart employees know absolutely nothing about dogs and I wouldn’t trust leaving my pet with them ever. Also I will make sure not to buy any products of a company that supports punishing a breed just because some people are ignorant.
