Legislation Question Title * 1. Pet limit laws are an effective way to reduce the prevalence of animal hoarding. True False Question Title * 2. Pet limit laws are more harmful by punishing responsible law-abiding pet owners than they are helpful by preventing nuisance animals and cases of neglect or abuse. True False Question Title * 3. Pet limit laws typically exempt therapy, service, and foster animals from their restrictions. True False Question Title * 4. You should always obey leash laws because you never know when your well-behaved, social dog might approach a dog who is not so well-behaved and result in a dog fight. Those well-behaved dogs have the same right to enjoy public spaces and benefit from training as your well-behaved dog, so it is unfair for you to allow your dog to approach them. True False Question Title * 5. Which of the following breeds include or permit human-directed aggression in their standard? American Pit Bull Terrier Tosa Dobermann Fila Brasileiro American Staffordshire Terrier German Shepherd Dog Akita Bully Kutta Rottweiler Question Title * 6. Pit bulls are listed as the number one offender in dog bite statistics because they... are one of the most popular breeds outside of ethical breeding programs. make up an extremely large portion of the national shelter population. are often neglected, abused, and/or trained to be aggressive due to their reputation. are a naturally human-aggressive breed. have a lot of prey drive and working drive, which can result in reactivity and aggression if these drives are not fulfilled in a safe and productive way. Question Title * 7. Owners of ethically bred pit bulls knowingly keep and support aggressive dogs, so they should be held responsible for bite statistics and the breed(s) should be banned. True False Question Title * 8. Ethical breeders allow their puppy buyers choose whether their puppy has its tail docked or its ears cropped. True False Question Title * 9. Working dogs of breeds that are typically docked and/or cropped need to have the surgery performed early in life (too early for temperament testing of the litter), so this surgery must be performed on all of the dogs so that the ones going to working homes do not suffer traumatic injuries later in their lives. True False Question Title * 10. Ear cropping in canines is no more or less invasive, risky, or necessary than circumcision in human infants, so being in favor of one and not the other would be hypocritical. True False Question Title * 11. Brachycephalic (short-faced) breeds have breathing problems and should be banned to end their suffering. True False Question Title * 12. Which statement is untrue? Most brachycephalic breeds do not have breathing issues and cannot get BOAS. Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, and Pugs are the three breeds that can get BOAS. Ethically bred dogs never have BOAS and are perfectly capable of competing in agility and other sports. Unethically bred dogs are the only dogs that ever get BOAS. BOAS stands for Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome, and ethical breeders conduct tests to make sure none of their breeding prospects have it prior to breeding them. BOAS is a highly heritable disease that can be easily eradicated with ethical breeding and health testing. BOAS is caused by stenotic (restricted) nares and an elongated soft palate.
