Breed Discrimination?
Who has run into it, where and what breeds? Looking for a new buddyI like the German Shepherd but have to look at a mix with "they say" lab and american bull dog. More turmoil.

You probably also keep your cats in one area and the dogs in another. That would make you a segregationist. Neither of those two things are unreasonable, but you wouldn't lead your facebook page with "Dr. Doug, DVM I discriminate and am a strict segregationist." Words have meaning beyond the dictionary definition.
By definition restricting certain individuals based on what ever criteria is discriminatory. Our society does not allow this with people in public businesses, but no such protective laws exist for pets. The restrictions are discrimination, it's just not against the law.
