I think as time progresses and the population density increases in big cities you will see restrictions on the type of animals allowed within city limits. (ie weight or breed limitations)
This however will not come to pass for a very long time. Calgary has so much green space right now the populace just wouldn't stand for having their beloved dogs taken away, and neither would I for that matter.
That being said dog limitations are more likely to come about as a result of necessity. If calgary, in the same area, was 10million instead of 1mil, we might see this kind of legislation proposed because people simply won't have any personal space and won't want to waste space on dogs.
I highly doubt there are a lot of dog owners in places that have a Japan like population density [insert dog or cat joke here].
