South Dakota Supreme Court July 18, 2001, None (City of Marion v. Schoenwald)

KONENKAMP, Justice.

[¶ 1.] To keep excessive numbers of large dogs from becoming a public nuisance, the City of Marion passed an ordinance that, among other things, limited households to four dogs, only two of which could weigh over 25 pounds. When the ordinance was challenged in court, the weight restriction was struck down. We reverse that ruling.
