We are almost at D - Day now ‼️
13 Days until the ban on XL Bullies comes into effect ‼️
If your dog looks anything at all like these, on these photos, have you muzzle trained them ❓
Have you trained them to walk on a lead in public place ❓
Are they microchipped ❓
Have you taken out 3rd party liability insurance with the Dogs Trust❓
Have you had them neutered❓
Have you applied for the exemption certificate ❓
If the answer is No, and you’ve not done any preparations for the ban and Yes, your dog is a muscular bull breed that looks like these dogs then you need to ACT NOW ‼️
Don’t forget the XLBully ban is based on appearance , known as TYPE. They are not a recognised breed in England. So if your dog looks anything like these it could be seized and possibly euthanised unless you start the exemption process.
Your dog MUST be muzzled and on a lead in a public place at all times from December 31st
You cannot own a dog like these in the photos without those restrictions in place
You cannot gift, rehome, sell, buy, breed from or abandon a dog like these.
Rescue centres cannot rehome them after the 31st December so if you suddenly decide to give up your dog, it WILL be euthanised by the end of this month . 😞
Please do the right thing for your dog. Save your dog from being seized and possibly death
Get it muzzled trained as a matter of urgency.
The major dog rescue charities have muzzle training videos on YouTube - follow the instructions
Many of the bigger dogs need specific muzzles that are unavailable in shops - check out The Muzzle Movement for details of large breed ‘fat head’ style muzzles.
Then put the other things into place urgently
Neuter
Microchip
Insurance
Exemption certificate and license
