Received this information a CKC Director this morning, and
I have confirmed the information on the Attorney General's Website.
For those who may have had concerns entering Ontario to participate in
dog shows, the Bill does allow provisions for this.
THE HARD FACTS ON BILL 132 in ONTARIO
The following information from the Canadian Kennel Club provides our
members and CKC Event participant's factual information regarding the
impact of Bill 132 in Ontario.
The complete legislation and regulations should be reviewed on the
website of Attorney General Michael Bryant at

for clarification of the act should be directed to
michael.bryant@jus.gov.on.ca or mbryant.mpp@liberal.ola.org . Phone
contact can be made at (416) 326-2220.
The Act comes into effect August 29, 2005.
For the purposes of the Act a pit bull is defined as: A pit bull
terrier, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, an American Staffordshire
Terrier, an American Pit Bull Terrier, a dog that has an appearance and
physical characteristics substantially similar to any of those dogs.

2) After the ban comes into effect, a person who did not own any pit
bulls may acquire one (1) restricted pit bull.
3) A person who owned one (1) or more pit bulls on August 29 will be
able to acquire more as long as the number does not exceed the total

2005 within Ontario or elsewhere.
2) Muzzle and leash restrictions are not required while the dog is on
the site and participating in an approved event.
3) The sterilization of a dog participating in approved dog events is

include an approved dog event in which the dog participated (provide
copy of entry as documentation).
