TW - Upsetting information: XL Bully attack *edited by MNHQ

Horrible story. The people who intervened are very brave. A lot more brave than me. Because no way would I have taken on one of these dogs unless it was going for one of my children 😬

Right on cue, along comes one of aforementioned idiots.

The "Bully XL" is a chav dog. It is owned by people who think that a dog is an accessory, or for "protection," rather than a companion.

Every single one of them need to be exterminated.

Well the only thing I can suggest to you then is that you keep trying.

One at the bottom of my street penned up in a garden and I am so terrified one of my cats might jump over the fence one day. It did get loose about eight months ago and attacked a little spaniel, similar to the case you describe OP. Men dragged it off and hit it with poles, one got his hand so badly bitten he had to be taken to hospital. The other dog was ok thankfully. The police weren't informed. (It's that sort of place.) These dogs are dangerous and the owners are selfish stupid cunts.

It’s sad. But I agree. They should be euthanised.

How many dogs, children, people need to die before we decide that probably is the best option.

Oh bore off about training
Every single time one of these dogs attacks someone, be it the owner or a randomer/other animal they trot out the same shit “never shown any signs of aggression”
So what’s the answer then? Why is it that any other large breed, Newfoundland, St Bernard’s, Boxers, Dogue De Bordeaux don’t attack like these things do. Why is it ONLY ever XL Bully’s you see snapping.

Your post is incorrect. The breed's bad name is entirely deserved and these animals are not suited to being kept as domestic pets.

No, I'm actually quite intelligent and I don't need to resort to slinging insults to get my point across.
I try to evaluate, process and form an independent opinion, even if you don't agree with it. That's what this platform is about, or am I mistaken?

@oakleaffy too true! You rarely hear of a smaller dogs getting free & attacking other dogs & people.

@Citylightsarebright that poor wee dash & owner 🥲 that's traumatic.

its going to take some time for them to die out. The ban isn't going to solve the issue out overnight banning is pointless anyway as they'll just create another mixed breed.

Poor, poor dachshund. I'm glad it got help in time, the people who intervened are very brave

It IS the dogs.

They are bred to fight other dogs, and they attack children and adults too.

They are extremely unstable, and very few people are strong enough to manage the brutes. They are idiot magnets 🧲 as well..

If it’s not the dog and only the owner then why do they need to be in a constant perfect environment or it snaps, if it’s the owners then why does this breed have a tendency to lose its fucking rag constantly and instead of just being abit growly it snaps out of nowhere and either maims or kills

Why anyone would want one of these vile things in their house having them on eggshells constantly is beyond me
But it is about time people took their head out of the sand. These dogs are absolutely bred bad

Yes, it's usually thick people with no critical thinking skills that trot it out at every opportunity while completely ignoring the facts.

I disagree the people breeding these dogs should have some sort of regulations put in place. Anyone can breed. Take a loom at the dog owners. Iv seen these dogs be gentle as anything. They are big dogs they need to be trained. If u cant handle the dog dont have it. Its down to the owner the breed is getting a bad name and its not the dogs. Look at the owners!

@OonaStubbs

Honestly, you want to jail people for legally owning a dog?

our prisons can't contain all the murderers, sex offenders etc that it needs to & you want to put more people in, people that legally own a dog?!?!

Don’t be snide, it’s the owners not the dog 😏 XL bullies are well known to be big softies when with the right owner innit

@Citylightsarebright XLB Pits escaping from houses and yards is far too common.

This is where a Pitbull {From which XL's are bred} attacks a man- look and see what they do to try and get the dog off- it's terrifying.

The difference is ... a smaller dog wouldn't be able to do as much damage.

I’m bloody sick to death of hearing about these dogs
Every single thing seems to set them off or cause them to attack. It’s about time they were culled.
