Long post so I do apologise!
Due to a huge influx of owners wanting help with their XL bully types and breeds/crosses that could potentially be considered "type", I would like to make two recommendations.
No one knows what this legislation will look like, please try not to panic (easier said than done!), but it is highly likely it will follow Pits as they are mixed and not a recognised breed, this is often done based on measurements. There is a wonderful group called: https://www.facebook.com/SaveOurSeizedDogs who have a whole heap of experience with BSL this may well be a good place to start for information and advice. Many have been through the BSL system and can advise how to approach and prepare.
What's important is to be pro-active NOW β€
Many have reached out to me for training but being a single person operation I cannot help everyone, so... I would like to personally recommend GR Dog Training. They are highly experienced with large bull breeds and have a fantastic team at their disposal β€ They are single handedly the only trainers I can recommend. They have helped me with my rescues in the past; they are welfare forward, proven results, years of experience, non-judgemental and won't simply slap a temporary plaster on an issue.
As I said; the key right now is not to panic, be pro-active! β€ πΎ
Itβs clear that the overgrown pug (Sunak) isnβt in touch with the real world. A ban has proven ineffective for many many years, considering how many pit bulls are around.
These dogs are super powerful breed and should NOT be taken lightly. They require a phenomenal amount of research and training. Realistic expectations have to be taken and measures put in place.
Weβre urging you to get as much training in as you possibly can to give you the best chance possible when/if the ban does come into effect. Whether itβs with us or other trainers who can give you results, thereβs never been a more urgent time to get it done.
Weβve worked with these breeds for a long time, so if you need help - please, MESSAGE US.
P.S
Negative comments will be banned - owners of these dogs are already facing a tough time, they need support.
