XL bully dogs are now banned in England and Wales after a spate of serious attacks linked to the breed. From February 1, it is a criminal offence to own an XL bully dog in England and Wales unless the owner has a certificate of exemption.
Under rules that came into force on December 31 it is illegal to breed, sell, advertise, exchange, gift, rehome, abandon or allow XL bully dogs to stray in England and Wales. They must also be kept on a lead and muzzled in public.
More than 30,000 XL bully dogs have been granted exemptions from the ban since the crackdown on the breed was announced on October 31, according to the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra). To qualify for an exemption certificate, owners must apply by Thursday and will need to pay a £92.40 fee. Owners must also prove that their dog meets certain criteria.
