Vicious dog means a dog meeting any of the following criteria:
(1) Any dog with a known propensity, tendency or disposition to attack unprovoked or to cause injury to or otherwise endanger the safety of human beings or domestic animals. The propensity to be vicious shall be "known" if the owner has any notice that the dog has, on any occasion, inflicted bites or attacked a human being or other animal, either on public or private property, or, in a vicious or terrorizing manner, approached any person in an apparent attitude of attack upon the streets, sidewalks or any public grounds or places or when the person is lawfully on private property.

The area of enclosure shall be no less than two hundred twenty-five (225) square feet with no less than fifteen (15) feet per side.
(g) Muzzling and restraint when off premises.

This sign shall be visible and capable of being read from the public highway or street. In addition, the owner shall conspicuously display a sign with a symbol warning children of the presence of a dangerous dog.
(k) Dogfighting; training to attack. No person shall own or harbor any dog for the purpose of dogfighting or shall train, torment, badger, bait or use any dog for the purpose of causing or encouraging the dog to unprovoked attacks upon human beings or domestic animals.
(l) Selling, breeding or buying. No person shall possess with intent to sell, offer for sale, breed, buy or attempt to buy within the city any vicious dog.
