Kirk W Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 What is a "bully breed?" A dog of some sort, I assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 What is a "bully breed?" Pit Bulls, Boxers, Boston Terriers, and Bulldogs are among the most common "bully breeds." I've never run across an RV park that doesn't allow a Boston Terrier or even a Boxer (although there is often a size/weight restriction that would rule out Boxers). Most RV parks that have breed restrictions don't allow Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and sometimes even Dobermans. I don't specifically know of any RV parks that will allow these breeds...the best thing to do is call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFDR3116 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Most forestry parks do not have breed restrictions, nor do most COE parks. Not sure about state parks. I've usually seen restrictions at privately owned parked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Mayer Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 MOST parks do not have restrictions. But to be sure, call and ask first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIBERNUT Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 A park here in MD restricted the breeds allowed on premises. One of the excluded breeds was "Terrier". Well, crap, darn near ANYTHING could be called a "Terrier" at their discretion when you show up at the gate after a few hour trip. (Same park that charged me a $10 "guest fee" because I left 2 mins after their deadline. Morris Meadows west of Baltimore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dykman Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Thanks for all the input; the "terrier" info is one for the books (lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveh Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hmmmm That would lead to an interesting discussion as to whether my standard schnauzer is a terrier, The correct answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIBERNUT Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 After a few hour trip, late afternoon & no other RV park close- who do you think would win the argument? With that asinine attitude, probably a cow would qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 With many military bases in eastern NC, we also had a pretty large population of retired service dogs. Everything from German Shepards, Belgian Malinois, to very talented mutts that were bomb sniffers. We witnessed an "Almost" altercation at a local campground when a somewhat young military family showed up to register. We were in the store part of the office when they walked in, Mom, Dad, 2 kids stayed outside and helped something out of the back of an SUV. We could hear the normal conversation, 30 or 50 amp, cable, etc, and then they came to- Do you have any dogs? They answered truthfully "Yes". What kind, "Shepard". We're sorry but we don't allow those kinds of animals in our campground. So your refusing service to an honorably discharged sergeant from the USMC? No sir, your more than welcome to stay, we just can't take your dog. Sergeant (I can't remember the name) is the dog ma'am. Oh, Well then he can stay then. By now we were laughing out loud at the exchange and left the store so we wouldn't make matters any worse for the couple. I really don't think the girl at the desk had any idea what was going on other than its a bad idea to refuse service to a military member especially in an area that survives on the military paycheck. The couple had a beautiful Shepard that was better behaved than most of the kids running around that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger & Karen Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 We travel with two Jack Russell Terrorists. One of them is a barker, so he gets the collar of shame put on when we leave the RV while in an RV park. We also travel with the best doggie in the world. There are a lot of so-called Pitties that are blessed without the block head, and people don't even recognize what they are. So, many people petting a very nice dog don't even realize what they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger & Karen Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Just travel with your loved doggies. If they are trained and well behaved, don't ask about breed restrictions. Most don't know dog breeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollyM Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I'd love to be able to post a photo of my "bully breed" dog, but I can't figure out how to upload photos in the forum. I've been RVing full time for 9 years. I've had all kinds of dogs as I rescue and rehome. The only problem I ever had was with a little German Pinscher (a small Dobie), and my current beautiful, lovable, 39 pound pocket "Pibble". I call sweet little Pitbulls PIBBLES because they don't deserve the negative connotation that's been pinned on Pit Bulls. It's been hard getting her into parks even though she's not purebred - she's part Boxer and something SMALL and is the most loving dog ever. She loves everyone and gets excited to see other people and other dogs. I call ahead. I stay in public parks - state parks and national parks don't have breed restrictions. She is a certified therapy dog and visits VA hospitals and nursing homes so that helps in some cases. Her vaccination papers read Boxer Mix, but when she smiles, she's got that Pit Bull smile. I train with her every day so she's a well behaved dog, but it's hard for her to obey when she's around strangers that she wants to get loving from!! Or other dogs that she wants to play with. I thought of starting a "dog friendly" RV website - highlighting those that allow Pits. Or other "bully" breeds. I still might do that . . .

xochristyt Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Miami Florida has a ban on all pit bulls. Definitely call and talk to someone before you arrive. Florida has really strict rules with bully breeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
