One dog policy

I had heard of it from different sources and today I decided to check it out.
Indeed there is a one dog policy in Beijing implemented in November 2006 to fight rabbies.
"The policy sets a legal limit for dog height at 14 inches (35.5 cm) and restricts every family to one dog as a maximum. Dogs are not allowed to be abandoned, and owners cannot take their dogs to public places such as markets, parks and sightseeing areas"
On top of it there is a regulation on the size of the dog (. Now I understand why I've never seen big dogs in Beijing.
