(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council has approved on first reading amendments to the dangerous dogs Ordinance.

During the June 5th Council meeting, City Administrator Gary Jorn outlined the additional language proposed for the Council.

Included is a requirement that owners of breeds of dogs, included in the dangerous dog ordinance, have the dog undergo an annual temperament test, utilizing the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test.

Jorn noted the Humane Society would like to have certain breeds of dogs on the list allowed in Falls City.  Jorn called the new language a compromise.

The proposals need to be approved by the Council two more times.

The dangerous dog ordinance that includes the dog owners carrying liability insurance policies on specific dog breeds would remain in place.
