Dog number limits are unfair to dog owners, dog rescue organizations, animal shelters, and dog breeders and exhibitors. Just as danger cannot be pre-determined by the appearance of the dog, so nuisance cannot be pre-determined by the number of dogs owned.

Responsible owners of multiple dogs should be allowed to keep their pets or acquire additional pets as long as they keep their premises clean, do not violate animal control laws, and make sure their dogs are quiet.
