How so? How do you enforce a ban in certain areas? Make it so they can't be registered in certain Postal Codes?
Then you have irresponsible owners avoiding registration, and hiding their dogs, in turn, not providing them proper exercise, or a proper life, leading to more dogs being untrained and uncared for.

If you ban backyard breeding, you reduce the number of dogs bred simply for quick profit. This helps eliminate the number of irresponsible owners, as I would assume the majority of uneducated owners aren't going to be willing to drop the $2000-$3000 an accredited breeder charges, just to say they have a pitbull, or look menacing when they walk their untrained dog around the neighborhood.
