Bully XLs killed loads of folk in the UK, often unprovoked. It got to the point where the breed got banned. While ownership plays a part, they were disproportionately represented in fatal incidents.

The amount of owners who were shock because their dog was a kind spirit that wouldn't hurt a sole, then one day snapped and kid was dead.

Once again, this is a pit bull. You can tell because of the way it is. Notice that it looks like a velvet hippo with a dumb frog face and is on a couch. 100% pit bull.

All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.

Rules (Will be refined later on).

  1. Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.

  2. No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
    Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here.

  3. All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.

  4. Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.

  5. Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.
