Clean off. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2vvgx1y1x8o The Facebook pages of Edinburgh Live and the Evening News have been awash with people saying that it wasn't XL Bully's or that it was her fault for not knowing how to look after the dogs. Apparently at least one of these dogs was one of those sent to Scotland as part of the 'amnesty' when the ban was being brought in in England and not in Scotland.

You are allowed to own a banned breed if you bought it before the ban and meet certain conditions. The conditions are - keeping it registered with the local council; dog has to be microchipped; dog must be neutered; dog must be muzzled at all times in public. I think there are other conditions as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why folk will be getting attacked in the hoose... the 4-legged sharks are muzzled outside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering rescinding my previous position if the XL's are gonna start eating their owners exclusively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 I was waiting to pick my wife up from her work yesterday. She’s a teacher and we had a few minutes to pass before she was finished so my son and I went and kicked a ball about in the school grounds. The public can walk through the school, you get quite a few dog walkers etc. ‘My boy was running to get the ball when a couple walked up with the probably the biggest XL Bully I’ve ever seen, slobbering and tugging at the lead. It was muzzled but the muzzle was loose and slipped off every time it moved. I made sure my boy didn’t go anywhere near it and we stopped playing football while it was there. What made it worse is that the couple in charge of it were absolutely reeking if weed, you could smell them before you saw them. So while stoned they decide to walk their land shark, across a school ground. Perfect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s been confirmed as not a Bully XL, although I could be wrong. It was listed as a bulldog-type but not a banned dog, I guess that could mean it was a legally held XL Bully. The woman apparently had a seizure and the dog attacked her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
