News - xl bully

A ban on the breed was announced last year after a number of attacks - however existing owners could apply to their local authority to keep their pets if they had been neutered.

A statement from the local authority confirmed that there are a total of eight XL Bullies registered with the county's dog warden.

As of the start of February it's illegal to own an XL bully type dog without an exemption issued by a local council.

It's understood current owners of XL Bully's will be subject to strict new rules from next February.
