This is the best summary I could come up with:


Since 31 December 2023, it has been against the law to sell, abandon, breed from or give away an XL bully, or have one in public without a lead and muzzle.

She sees herself as a responsible XL bully owner, does not take their leads off in public, and they are currently undergoing muzzle training, though the dogs are finding it difficult to adapt.

Aichaa also said her five-year-old daughter was nervous around the breed, having been bitten by a friend's XL bully, but still had a strong bond with Zaviour.

"Clear guidance has been published on the action that owners need to take - with a transition period running until 31 January 2024, allowing those who wish to keep their dog to apply for an exemption scheme.

"This guidance also sets out strict conditions on XL bully types which must now be met - including that owners cannot sell nor exchange their dogs from this date."

The breed joins the American pit bull terrier, the Japanese tosa, the Dogo Argentinos and the Fila Brazileiro on the banned list.
