I own an am staff./ Shar Pae mix at the moment and I’m finding it VERY difficult to find a decent apartment that allows this breed. Some ever require that they are AKC certified pure breed. Many places dont allow anything over 25 lbs. Most say its just because the rental property’s insurance company wont allow it.

That being said. There is a place in Henderson “Victory Village” apartment homes that seems decent and does NOT have a breed restriction! I live in the summerlin area and I might have to move across town for this dog LOL!

Good Luck !

I live in Las Vegas and we have rottweilers. Our neighbors have pit bulls. There’s no restrictions as yet, however, you can’t have more than 3 of the same breed of the bully breeds as they can adopt a "pack mentality" that might prove dangerous.

One more thing. Make sure your renters insurance and/or the homeowners insurance covers the breed. We have Farmer’s Ins because they don’t put restrictions on the breed

Oh, and to the person above me who was bitten the dog, I was bitten by a dog too, on my face and it left me with two black eyes and a scar across my nose. The breed you ask? A dachshund.

I lived in Las Vegas for 12 yrs and when I left in May 2007 there was talk of banning pit bulls since they were deemed ‘unadoptable’ at the shelters. Dog fights were rare on the news, but usually isolated to North Las Vegas.

PS. I was bitten by an American Staffordshire Terrier 2 weeks ago. I’d NEVER recommend getting one since they look just like pit bulls!

You want to live in an apartment with a large breed dog? That should be a restriction along with bad dog owners.

In rental homes, it depends on the landlord , most large or certain breeds are not welcome in townhouse, condos or rental homes, A lot of destruction to outside yards and greenery and inside has caused a lot of problems in the past, of course small breeds can do the same . They have a strick leesh law in Clark county and is taken very seriousy, as clean up after you dog … good luck.
