Other Associations have taken a modified approach towards pets by allowing cats (to be kept inside, or outside on a leash), and dogs weighing up to 20 pounds (or some arbitrary equally low weight) which must be kept inside, or outside on a leash with an attendant (ie., not on a "run" or loose in a fenced area).
Some Towns have local ordinances which may supercede any provisions of a Condo Association.
Invariably, the 'weight' related criteria doesn't work and a lot of arguing takes place about "my dog is over the weight, but VERY friendly" .
Some Condos have followed policies adopting standards subscribed to by insurance companies regarding dogs (ie., NO pit bulls, NO German Shepards, or any other type of large, strong, potentially aggressive dog.
Then, just about the time you think you have a handle on the situation, grandfather clauses kick in, and service dog issues kick in, and a whole raft of other concerns.
So, like I first said, expect a whole bunch of answers.

I think pets are like kids, IF YOU care for them correctly, they will be fine. If you want them to be aggressive, well there is an app for that. Training (teaching) them is a different story. MY yellow lab "could" have been trained to be aggressive I think TRAINING~
You wanted the "Association" life. Any dog or cat can be aggressive. I will kick the snot out of it if it comes after me, Just keep your pet on a leash and there will be no problem.
