Cats and Fireworks
In response to an increase in incidents and fatalities involving XL Bully dogs, with two major attacks in September and October 2023, the UK Government has now added this breed to the list of dogs banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.
There are now five dogs banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, which include the Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro and XL Bully.
In order to help XL Bully owners adapt to the new laws, these changes will come into force in three stages. The announcement for the first stage occurred on 31 October 2023, and the second and third stages will take effect on 31 December 2023, and 1 February 2024, respectively.
What will the XL Bully ban mean for owners?
On 31 October 2023, the UK Government announced that XL Bully dogs are now banned in the UK under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. There are three different stages to help owners comply with the law.
Stage 1: 31 October 2023
Following the ban announcement, applications for exemption certificates for XL Bully owners will begin. Owners have until 31 January 2024 to apply for a Certificate of Exemption to be registered on the Index of Exempted Dogs. We are awaiting further information from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) on what the process involves and how to apply – but we will update this page as soon as we know.
We recommend that you start to muzzle and lead train your XL Bully dog now so that they will be more comfortable with it by the time it comes into law on 31st December. Breeding of XL Bully dogs should now stop, and you should look into arranging your dog to be neutered and microchipped if not already done.
Stage 2: 31 December 2023
From 31 December 2023, it will be illegal in England and Wales to:
- Sell an XL Bully dog
- Abandon an XL Bully dog
- Give away an XL Bully dog
- Breed an XL Bully dog
- Have an XL Bully dog in public without being on a lead and wearing a muzzle
- Own an XL Bully dog that has not been microchipped (this is already a legal requirement for all dogs)
Therefore, you must ensure that your XL Bully dog is microchipped by this time.
Stage 3: 1 February 2024
From 1 February 2024, it will be illegal to own an XL Bully dog unless you have a Certificate of Exemption for your dog and you follow the rules, which include:
- Microchipping your dog.
- Muzzling your dog and keeping them on a lead in public (this includes in a vehicle for transport)
- Neutering your dog.
- Taking out third-party insurance against your dog injuring other people – this can be provided through Dogs Trust Membership.
- Be over 16 years old.
Neutering will be compulsory for XL Bully dogs by 30 June 2024 for dogs over 1 year old on 31 January 2024, or by 31 December 2024 for dogs under 1 year old on 31 January 2024. All owners of XL Bully dogs will have to follow these specific guidelines.
If you decide not to keep your XL Bully, the government has announced the option to take your dog to a registered vet to be euthanised. There will be a compensation scheme for the cost of euthanasia if you choose this option. You and your vet must fill in a compensation form to make a claim. Defra will provide more information on how to apply for this soon.
If you are found in possession of an XL Bully dog without a Certification of Exemption, the law may subject you to a criminal record and an unlimited fine, and authorities could also seize your dog.
