The Marine Corps, some US Army, Air Force and Navy installations have banned certain large dog breeds such as pit bull-type breeds.

In the UK it’s illegal to own, breed, sell or even give away a Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino or a Fila Brasileiro. In the US, dog laws vary from state to state, rather than there being a single set of federal laws. The Marine Corps, some US Army, Air Force and Navy installations have banned certain large dog breeds such as pit bull-type breeds. Some local governments have also banned dogs or restricted them. There are different approaches to banned dogs and dog bite injuries or fatalities, which comes down to the laws and the state. Should all dogs be uzzled in public, and ownership of certain dog breeds be strictly regulated? Should compulsory measures such as mipping, neutering, chipping, and insurance be put in place? There’re also the question of whether the legislation and education for owners needs to be overhauled across the country. Regardless of the law on either side of the Atlantic, it�s wise to muzzle your dog if it could be considered aggressive.
