Dogs are one of the most popular breeds of animals that are adopted as pets by humans. There is a certain dog breed, which is said to have a very powerful bite force, even more than some wild animals. Do you know which dog it is? The dog breed is known as the XL Bully Dog. It is a type of American bully dog, and the largest of the lot. The reports state that its bite is enough to break the bones of a human. According to reports, this dog is large “with a muscular body and blocky head, suggesting great strength and power for its size.” This dog was bred as a companion dog, even though its temperament depends on its training.
If properly trained, they will only show curiosity to strangers, instead of aggression. Despite their big size, these dogs are known to be loyal and very affectionate. Apart from the XL, there are three other varieties of this dog breed, which are standard, classic and pocket.
A male XL dog grows up to a height of 20 inches from the shoulder, while a female XL is smaller, but only by a small margin. According to the reports, these dogs are responsible for more than 50 percent of dog related attacks, some even ending in deaths, between the years between 2021 and June 2023.
According to the latest updates, the government of the UK has banned the ownership of the dog, starting from December 31, 2023. The citizens are not allowed to breed, sell, give away or abandon this particular breed of dog. If in public, they should be on a leash and must be muzzled. Further reports state that from February 1 onwards, it is a crime to own an XL bully, without an exemption certificate. The police are at liberty to seize the dog, and the owner would have a criminal record. They will also be charged with an unlimited fine. The ban is not applied to Northern Ireland or Scotland.
