XL bully shot

Article says XL Bully
@OctoberOctopus, and as ever they are all shocked when the face eating leopard eats someone's face.
Jesus wept

It is important.

The article says XL BULLY. Someone else said it wasn't but now several news reports says it was.

One is a banned breed, the other should also be a banned breed, due to it's propensity for injuring & killing.

Article says XL Bully

I know.

No dog can lock it's jaw. It is a myth.

You don’t think it’s important to get the breed or type right? One is a banned breed, the other is not.

What’s lock jaw?

OK, how different are they? Still the thick neck muscle bound with lock jaws?

The article says American bulldog not xl bully. They’re not the same.

Ah right, I didn't read the STV report.

This time last year all the chavs in England/Wales who didn't want their "velvet hippo bestest boys" neutered and chipped and the rest of it to comply it with the law were shipping their beasts up here because the Scottish government in their typical wisdom were not following the rest of hte UK's legislation. Idiots bringing up loads of the things in transit vans and Scottish idiots rehoming them.

This post states xl bully as per article

Maybe a check on owners, let's face it, it's not Mrs DeVere at Holly Cottage, Twinkly Edge, owning them..more like Ryan Robber, Nelson Mandela Cres, Ruffville..ex of Winchester Prison that owns most of these type of dogs.
Surely, it's not beyond the authorities probation to check on them to see that the dogs are well cared for, not used nefariously and kept within the current laws. until they actually get a backbone over these owners

No need to guess. Upthread I shared a newspaper article that said it was an xl bully.

Shall we have a wee guessing game at what breed this thing might be? Especially given that this time last year feckless owners were shipping their XL bullies north of the border so they didn't have to conform with English laws?

Not going to be a jack russell or a border terrier, is it?

XL bullies are born bad. They are mainly bred from a super aggressive dog called kimbo. As there are not that many in the UK they have inbred which means the gene that makes them aggressive is amplified.

From what I've read on them, Dobermans, Giant Schnauzers and even Rottweilers don't have the same unhinged quality of XL Bullies.

Harsh 😂

"Emergency services were called to reports of a dog attack inside a property on Foresterhill Road at around 11.15pm on Saturday.
Michelle McLeod was pronounced dead at the scene after being attacked by an American Bulldog, STV News understands."

Bloody killer dogs. Inside a property. Whether it was hers or not hasn't been confirmed

As far as I'm aware, it's because this breed is particularly inbred and it's something to do with the parentage. There are strong dogs, territorial dogs, and ones that are not very obedient by nature or are known to be more unpredictable. This breed seems like a combination of the first and last quality in particular. They seem to be unhinged.

You hear of some dogs attacking when people enter their spaces, provoke them in some way, or another dog comes up to them, but this breed seems to go out of its way to attack in a rage. I read a horrible story of one that got out of its home and went round the corner to horrifically attack a dachshund, ripping its legs off.

An XL bully in my local town also escaped its house and ran down the street to attack a 7 year old boy, on his way to a birthday party.

They're a serious liability, and if I had children, I would want to move away if I learnt one of my neighbours had one of them.

I was walking my border on a footpath with high hedges when we met a Rotty with muzzle - it shook off the muzzle and pinned her down - the female walker couldn't shift it we both yanked it off - I felt we all could have died - literally!

Need to see what breed this dog is but it has been pts.

The dog owner is VERY vocal about this on FB and there is some sort of memorial planned for the weekend reading their posts, the dog escaped through the front door and got out the front. Someone must have reported it, and Police were on scene fairly quickly - armed response was sent. The dog must have been out for some time is all I can imagine and obviously was behaving in a way that made the Police not want to approach it and it wasn't muzzled. The owner is also claiming that the dog was taken away by Police/Social Services and returned prior to the incident. So I think that there is an awful lot more to the story than is being told.

I would feel huge sympathy for the owner under normal circumstances but not with this breed. At least her kids are now safe.

Euthanize ALL XL bullys

Whatever the rights and wrongs of this specific incident, the police were obviously going to be twitchy as a man had just been killed by a dog that had been involved in an incident a few days before.

Those who must keep these dogs have to accept that there will (and indeed should!) be absolute zero tolerance. If they are outside, unmuzzled, or otherwise out of control, they have every chance of being shot, or seized and euthanised. If they love the damn thing so much, they should look after it better.

Looks like the fatality being reported today was another idiot owner killed by their own dog, like last week's. At least they chose to put themselves at risk, can't complain at the consequences.

I fully agree that dog ownership should be much more tightly regulated, training should be compulsory etc.
One problem is that anything which acts as a barrier to owning a pet will hurt the profits of the pet industry and they will push back hard in order to preserve their profits. The more pets people have & the more those pets are treated as equal to or above humans the more money is spent on them. Vets, purveyors of pets and pet accessories are all rubbing their hands and will not want to lose any profit.
