From October 1st there will be a ban on the breeding, rehoming, reselling and importing XL bully dogs. From February 1st next there will be a ban on owning an XL bully unless the owner has secured a ‘Certificate of Exemption’. These certificates will only be issued to owners who can prove their XL bully is licensed, microchipped and neutered.
The UK government describes them as a “variant of the wider American bully breed type. The XL bully breed type is typically larger and more muscular than other American bully breed types such as the micro, pocket, ‘standard’ and ‘classic’.”
