XL bully shot

[louisbalfournice]

Local XL bully shot today. The owner is saying on social media that the dog was harmless but I've seen it go for a a small child before. Why are these dogs 'harmless" until they injure or kill

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

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!

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.

"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

Harsh 😂

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

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.

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?

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

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

This post states xl bully as per article

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.

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

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

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?

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

I know.

Article says XL Bully

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

It is important.

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

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

It appears it was a banned xl bully though.

Indeed. Large dog, small flat. Owned less than a year, so a rehomed dog. They all say it was lovely and she had a bond with it. It mauled her to death . Same old story.

I love dogs but wouldn't ever entertain one of these dogs especially anywhere near a child. It's too risky. Any dog has the potential to go rogue. The difference between huge dogs and tiny dogs is that you can restrain a smaller dog. Who could keep hold of one of these, they are huge. I can't understand why anyone would buy one, there are so many other lovely breeds of dogs.

I'd like to see a more humane way to put these to sleep, unless in a dangerous situation , I actually feel
Sorry for these poor animals that didn't ask to be bread like this and are the way they are due to humans breeding, I'd rather the owners/ breeders be shot and these animals put to sleep in a humane way , the dog knows no different, it's how they are bred and the stupid thing owners that allow this, I think it would be kind to all these dogs to have them all pts humanely as we've now seen to many incidents and it needs to stop, the law on muzzling and licensing has made hardly any difference unfortunately.
