AlwaysAVFC Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 When we go out for a short amount of time, we often find our dog sleeping in the places she's not really allowed. She always makes herself very comfortable and doesn't look best pleased when we disturb her on our return. Longer periods she's right behind the door waiting for us, when she hears us coming back. I'm pretty sure that cushion was against the back of sofa and you can see the blanket where she is supposed go on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 The butter wouldn't melt look of my dog above has been channelling her inner cat and caught a bird in the back garden as I'm getting ready to go to the game.

Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted September 15, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2023 Just bought an XL Bully off some fella on our estate for £700 and now the government are on about having them all killed. It's crazy. The suggestion that dogs are attacking "innocent children". Dogs know stuff. What if those kids were to grow up and be serial killers or something? Just because we can't see into the future it doesn't mean dogs can't. They can see ghosts! My little fella wouldn't attack anyone who didn't deserve it. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Banning the breed isn’t the right way to go about it. The XL Bully’s I’ve met(3 in total) have been soft as shit and dog friendly. What I do acknowledge though is that if this breed of dog turns it’s going to do a fair bit of damage more so than let’s say a Labrador which is a decent sized dog itself . Stricter laws on breeding and ownership are required. The breed seem to be popular with younger chav lads and popular in the bigger towns and cities. Personally I think there should be an age limit on ownership for some breeds and also checks to see if that person is suitable to own such breed. Dog breeding itself needs looking into regardless of what type of dog people are breeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends brother looks after a XL Bully, as I guess the owners can't be arsed with it, or pay its food bills. Anyway, he brings it to the pub occasionally, an yeah he is soft as shit, but the problem is, if he ever goes off, which these breeds do, the guy looking after it won't be able to do shit, he's 62 and not in good shape. Also, the dog has been banned from 3 other pubs for being a barker and not to be trusted around other dogs. With my knowledge of this one, even though he's just a fussy pup, they should be banned.

Is banning them better than strictly regulating the problem? I’ve just been looking into the breed and it was initially cross bred from the American pit bull terrier which is very popular in America like the staffy is over here, but that breed is banned in the uk. It’s a very complex issue. I’d like to know how many illegal dog breeds are actually here in the uk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 The police have named the poor guy killed by the dogs. They’ve said they are believed to be XL bully’s but doing tests on the (dead) dogs to confirm. People in the comments getting all wound up because the police have just assumed they are XL bully’s just because they killed someone. A man is dead, believed to be protecting his elderly mother, and some people are more concerned about the fact the breed has been assumed without scientific evidence. People are weird. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bit like the gun control argument in America. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive just looked at the uk fatalities caused by dogs over the last few years and there is a pattern developing with this breed. It’s a cross breed like so many others on the list.

So you agree or disagree they should be banned? There’s other legal options for people who feel they need a masculine dog breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just had another glance at the list and there’s a lot of deaths from Rottweilers. How many illegal breeds do we actually have in Britain on our streets ? If there’s quite a few then the XL bully breeders will just go underground. Is regulation better? Weren’t that long ago they were on about banning staffys although the XL bully breed does seem more problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I do believe you can actually require a licence to own a pit bull in uk. They aren’t given out willy nilly to anyone , and they must be muzzled when out in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ban the trading and breeding of them, and current owners will have to apply for a licence and follow some strict rules if they are awarded a licence, if they want to keep their dog.

Interesting to see how it pans out because they are pretty common now, especially in certain areas . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JPJCB Posted September 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2023 People keep saying that we should be targeting the owners not the breeds. Why not just do both? Ban these breeds who are far more likely to kill people than any other dogs. But massively toughen up the sanctions on the idiots who can’t keep their dogs under control 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read there were 10 people killed by dogs in 2022 (in the uk), and 6 were by XL Bullys. They account for a minuscule percentage of dogs, yet make up the bulk of the fatalities. Another poor fella killed yesterday and other incidents of people/pets being mauled by them in the last week. The breed should be eradicated, and I say that as a dog lover. It's a mutant dog, designed to be scary and aggressive. I don't get why people have them. Loads of owners now saying how soft and gentle their bullies are and how they leave them with their kids! Why take the chance?! Edited September 15, 2023 by Xela 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 My pet chimp was ever so lovely and cute.. until it decided to rip my neighbours face and hands off* Don't ban chimps! *google Travis the chimp for a horrible story - only in America!
