MISSION HILLS, Kansas - City leaders are trying to ban one type of dog out of their area.

Mission Hills City Administrator Courtney Christensen is considering banning people from owning Rottweiler’s.

Christensen tells NBC Action News to reexamine its domestic animals regulations after a person was recently attacked by a dog in Mission Hills.

Pit Bulls are already banned.

“It’s a serious issue. You know, the safety of public is. People are getting more and more dogs. We’re selling more and more special animal permits which means they are having more than two dogs in their home. And we just want to make sure we are keeping community as safe as possible,” said Courtney Christensen, Mission Hills City Administrator.

The city council is expected to vote on the ban within the next few months.
