<DIV>The county is proposing cracking down on pet owners with dogs that bark in
Gwinnett County Ga. Under the new restrictions owners will be cited if
their dogs bark for more then fifteen minutes continuously or five times for
thirty seconds during any thirty minute interval. Barking needs only be
heard by anyone living near your house. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyone with three hounds would face citations if all three barked twice for
thirty seconds during any more then fifteen minute period. Penalties are
up to $1,000 for each offense (number of dogs), six months jail/probation and
the court could order the dogs to be removed from the property.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The law is also be changed to eliminate allowing dogs to bark at intruders
to only allowing barking when for people who are trespassing. Anyone who
owns a breed that barks, howls or hates squirrels faces what amounts to a breed
specific ban on barking. </DIV></FONT><br/><font style="color:black;font:normal 10pt arial,san-serif;"> <hr style="margin-top:10px"/><b>Know Your Numbers</b>: Get <a href="http://www.walletpop.com/credit/credit-reports?ncid=emlcntuswall00000002">tips and tools</a> to help you improve your credit score.</font></DIV></BODY></HTML>
