Another Day, Another Dog Attack

Finally...put them down, all of them and anything related. Zero sympathy for owners, you only buy an animal like this for street cred or to make a quick quid.

Some of the dogs are rescues that have been re-homed by rescues.

There is one that apparently appears in multiple videos and films that is so well trained he rolls over for a tickle when he meets people.

Apparently, according to the geneticist I heard earlier, as they are a mongrel there is no way of defining one by DNA.

in which case they aren't a defined breed.

No it is just looks but they all look a bit different.

we are trying to get down to your level still a way to go.

What? You can go lower than whale tulip? Who'd have thunk?

Half of XL bullys are descended from a particular psychotic inbreed according to that.

But they have a common genealogy being a cross breeding of pit bull and American Staffordshires ( nothing like our English ones) with an admixture of stuff like Corsos to add bulk. Plus selective breeding to emphasise their aggressive side. When dogs like Akitas and Tosers were banned, the saddoes who need a dog that's too big for them went for the Bully.

I can't work out if you are pulling my chain or what.

there are plenty of videos of nutty yanks with pet tigers who roll over for a tickle as well...

Nah I'm saying like pitbulls, which people were importing from Ireland via countries like Finland, they will be difficult to ban.

The issue is some of them have 5 or slightly more breeds in their mixture and dog genetics is weird.

Pitbulls are banned on their looks. Apparently they have to meet 15 physical features taken from a 1977 issue of the American periodical 'Pit Bull Gazette'. This is what the law uses to recognise them because they aren't a breed recognised by the Kennel Club.

Unless the US has produced such a guide on what is a Bully XL then someone has to define what a Bully XL is, and also make sure they don't include other breeds who aren't necessarily aggressive. (Though I agree any dog over a certain weight should automatically be subjected to a muzzle in public or communal space.)

Estate / Gypsy dogs. Tend to only maul the families of the cretins that keep them.
