Play date in XL Bully house

School mum has invited my son over to play. They own an XL bully. Apparently it’s a lovely dog and they have 3 kids at home. I really don’t want him to go, I just don’t think it’s worth the risk. Is it best to make up an excuse or just be honest? Interested to hear from owners of XL bullies how you would react to this. She’s a lovely lady and ideally I don’t want to piss her off.

Absolutely not - and I would tell her why.

God, no way!

Just no.

No, never.

Nope, my child certainly would not be going to a house that owns one of those things. I’d just be honest with the mum. It may be a lovely dog but they’re unpredictable and simply not worth the risk.

Don't make up an excuse, tell her it's because of the dog.

Nope, nope, nope. I could never.
