THIS is how you advocate for your breed!

Stating an XL Bully is no more dangerous than a Labrador or Chihuahua is the dumbest s**t I’ve ever heard.

You discredit yourselves as dog owners when you make statements like that.

The XL Bully is a heavy, athletic and driven animal.

They DO NOT do well in environments where they’ll be left all day unchecked.

They WILL become a problem if you try treating them like your nanas fat blue Staffy.

“Oh but it’s ok I’ll just walk mine 5 times a day” - you’ll then make your dog MORE athletic, MORE powerful and MORE capable.

Owning high drive dogs doesn’t mean you need to walk them more!

They need SOLID structure, STRICT routine, DAILY training and COMMITTED owners.

I don’t care who I upset - BULLYS DO NOT MAKE GOOD ‘PET DOGS’!

When I say that I mean stereotypical pet homes - I’m sure some of you reading this are already annoyed because you’ve read this far and said to yourselves “oh but I do all of what you mentioned” - COOL - then you’re NOT an average pet home!

99% of pet homes (and this is no exaggeration) give their dogs zero structure, zero training and let them do what the hell they please in the name of ‘love’ and that’s where working and power breeds fail miserably.

Shout out the 1%

To the 99 sort your s**t out and drop your egos - dogs are dying because you should never have considered them in your homes.

To those burying their heads, making excuses and stupid comparisons- be ashamed of yourself and know that the way you’re pushing your own agenda is wrong.

I’ll forever tell pet homes to avoid Shepherds, Herders and Malinois to keep my breed safe and away from any ban lists - THAT is how I advocate for my breed.

No mastiff or bull breed was ‘designed’ to be a family pet so how the hell will mixing those breeds produce family pets?

Saying ‘Bully’s were bred to be family companions’ is no different from other lies such as ‘Staffies are nanny dogs’

The difference between an opinion and a fact is that a fact is backed up by evidence whereas an opinion is a singular or collective agreement based off emotion.

Behavior like this needs other solutions

When we punish dogs for growling, we aren't helping them feel better about whatever it is that is threatening them. Instead, we are teaching to stop letting us know when they feel unsafe.

The result? A dog who stops giving warning signs and "bites out of the blue."

how to interact with a service dog 🐕‍🦺

🐾 approach the handler, not the dog
🐾 never touch, speak to, photograph, or feed a service dog unless the handler gives you permission
🐾 a napping service dog is still on duty
🐾 if a service dog approaches you, follow it back to its handler! The dog might just need correcting, OR the handler could be having an emergency.
🐾 keep your dog and other pets at a distance from service dogs; they are at work
🐾 treat the handler with respect and sensitivity

REALITY CHECK:

Claim #1: "Greyhounds are forced to run."
FACT: Emphatically, NO. Once they are in the starting boxes, there are no human hands touching them. They can choose/consent to run, watch from the box, or go to the humans monitoring them at the boxes. There is verifiable evidence of each of these things occurring, so there is zero credibility to this statement. In fact, it is proven that greyhounds are quite the intelligent and independent thinkers, and will become quite stubborn to do any human bidding if they see no benefit in it for themselves.

Claim #2: "Greyhounds love to run, but not to race."
FACT: No Greyhound, EVER, has read a dictionary to know that human languages define running and racing as having different meanings, though running is a part of the definition of racing on many levels. *Please note that this rather recent propaganda was dropped quickly due to its being devoid of any logic whatsoever, and is so ridiculous, there is no internet or other source that makes claim that greyhounds can read.

Claim #3: "Greyhounds are fed a poor diet."
FACT: If greyhounds were fed a poor diet, it would be physically impossible for them to run at speeds of up to 45mph. In fact, they are listed as among one of the healthiest by numerous dog specific websites across the board. *If you'd like more evidence of this, Google "top healthiest dog breeds" and you'll find things like this:

Claim #4: "Greyhounds are "confined" in cages 23 hours per day."
FACT: This is impossible. EVEN PeTA and HSUS HAVE MADE STATEMENTS ON THEIR OWN PAGES that dogs confined too long suffer from muscle atrophy (wasting away of muscles.) Have you ever really looked at professional racing greyhounds? Their bodies are incredible and their muscle mass is majestic.
➡ "She was found confined to a crate and weakened by muscle atrophy."
~HSUS actual Facebook quote about a [non-greyhound] dog in North Carolina that had been confined to a crate for too long.
➡ "But even crating them indoors all day long is abusive. Such long-term, intensive confinement can cause... muscle atrophy."
PeTA website on dogs confined in crates.

*Note: Screenshots of the acknowledgement of both PeTA and Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) regarding the fact that prolonged crate confinement causes muscle atrophy are located in the comments section of this post.

Claim #5: "Greyhound racing is full of dangers for the dogs."
FACT: According to a fully licensed and practicing veterinarian, "There are more injuries per number of dogs at any dog park than in an American dog track, I am a licensed veterinarian in Florida and know what I am talking about...... we see many dog park related injuries (most of them serious) in our practice EVERY week, proportionally this rate is substantially higher than in American dog tracks, just to emphasize this fact. Thank you..." *Further evidence:

Service dogs are still dogs. They are not infallible. They will still have thoughts and emotions just like any other animal. If another dog is running up to them aggressively, I do not expect them to be able to keep laser focused eye contact on me as if that threat doesn’t exist. They’re allowed to be aware of their environment. As long as they’re not fixating on anything or getting distracted from their work, there is no reason that a service dog should be denied permission to observe their surroundings. They get to go places and see things that many dogs never experience, of course they’ll be curious. Let them look every now and then. Let them experience life while they safeguard yours.
