Talk:breed-specific legislation

RFV discussion: September 2018
Single sense: a law to prohibit or restrict the keeping or breeding of particular types of dog.

Seems SOP but probable, but the single citation seems glossary-like. - Amgine/t &middot; e 15:02, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

 * In the meantime it‘s been put up for deletion as being a non-idiomatic sum of parts. --Lambiam 10:04, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

NISOP: legislation that is breed - specific. DCDuring (talk) 12:51, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure looks that way to me too. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 16:14, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: This is definitely an idiom often used to describe the various "legislation" used in different countries, states, provinces and municipalities. Certainly not like "green leaf". IQ125 (talk) 18:08, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * @IQ125, how is this idiomatic? The phrase is patently transparent, as DCDuring pointed out: this is legislation that is specific to certain breeds.  No idiomaticity at all, and indeed much like green leaf or brown house or application-specific design.  If you can make a compelling case for idiomaticity, I'm happy to hear your argument.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 18:27, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Does BSL help? 83.216.94.112 18:14, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. Just because an abbreviation is in the dictionary doesn't mean the full term has to be as well, especially if it is sum-of-parts. — SGconlaw (talk) 06:38, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty neutral on this one, but I would point out that the term seems to apply only to dogs, so the fried egg rule may apply. Kiwima (talk) 20:15, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I did some digging, and it's not only about dogs. The latest set of collocations appears to be common with regard to pit bulls, but we can find instances regarding completely different species, such as horses:
 * The Walking Horse Report, October 29, 2013: This breed specific legislation, which pertains to ONLY Tennessee Walking horses, Racking horses and Spotted Saddle horses in actuality does nothing that the bill purports it will accomplish.
