XL Bully dog - discussion

[WouldBe]

It is indeed illegal and I am at a loss to understand why we never hear of prosecutions for it.

Mind you, tail docking's illegal too, and has been for years, but I still see docked dogs around.

Both are still legal if it's done by a vet for medical reasons.

You just have to say the dog was like that when you got it.

I found this while browsing. Note that one of the cropping styles is called the Battle Crop. But I thought pits weren't fighting dogs?

Is there any rational reason for cropping these dogs' ears other than making them look hard?

From that site, talking about care for the dog afterwards - “use the cone”

Yeah, and with any luck the dog will rip your throat out when you try and fit it, you absolute shower of cunts.

 

[Lotte]

You could always avoid having to put the cone on your dog by NOT CROPPING ITS EARS.

I'm surprised the dogs don't do that when dickheads start the cutting.

An XL bully has been shot in Sheffield after it was on the loose. Not the first incident in Sheffield, there seem to be a lot of them there. There's a discussion on Mumsnet about it and the XL bully apologists are out in force. If i had a quid for every time they went 'BUT TERRIERS BITE TOOOO', I'd be able to buy a pack of them.

There are basically two types: people who want a big mean dog with cropped ears that shows how hard and badass they are (and they can go on about how soft the dog is all they like, but if XL bullies are so fucking soft then why are they always having their ears cropped, and don't tell me it's for health reasons because that is a lie) and how they're in control of a beast that will be loyal to them but vicious to their enemies, and the Fiona Apple types who feel sorry for XL bullies and pits and think they can change them and that they're nice misunderstood dogs really.

David Raya bought one for security. Why he couldn't have bought a GSD or a Dobermann, I'll never know. Dobermanns are actually bred to be guard dogs for a start.

Why the fuck anyone who professed to be a dog lover would do such a horrific thing that would unnecessarily and painfully mutilate their pet is beyond me. Anyone who did such a thing should have the animal removed and should be prosecuted for cruelty to animals.

Yeah well the dogs seem to take care of that themselves half the time.

Kind of related, but Dan the Turtle Man has done a video about TikTok breeders and surprise surprise, loads of them are bull breeds. Including those fucking hideous toadline things that can't even walk properly and have bandy legs.



What are those fucked up bulldogs even for? They can't hunt, can't run, can't track, can't point, can't flush, can't retrieve, can't guard or herd livestock, can't pull carts, can't rescue people, can't be guide dogs, I doubt they can fight like pits do, and they can't even have sex. The males have to be jacked off and the females inseminated with dog jizz.

I like Frenchies and seeing those poor little deformed puppies in the video broke my heart. I know other breeds are overbred - doodles are terrible for it - but it seems to be the bull breeds who really attract the fuckwits. Also, WHY would you breed a Malinois with a husky?

Oh, and one of the breeders has an XL bully bitch with cropped ears because of course he fucking does. I noticed at least one dog in that dickhead's kennels licking its lips and giving the whale eye, and if a dog does that, it's not a happy dog.

An 84-year-old man in Warrington was attacked by two of these things and it took 19 shots to kill both dogs. He was just minding his own business and one of them dragged him into a garden and mauled him.

I saw one today - it was either an XL bully or a pit, not sure, but it was too big to be a staffy. Didn't have a muzzle on, natch.

Apparently, the woman who owned it was screaming in the street 'They killed my dog.' (Police apparently sedated it at the scene, then took it to a vet to be put down.)

The dog had killed her 19-year-old cousin yet she was screaming about her dog being killed. What messed up priorities.

When I was a baby my parents had a dog that was euthanised for biting people, police were involved. It was a Jack Russel terrier.

Both myself and my son have been bitten by dogs, myself on the arse and he on his face both out of the blue for no reason whatsoever by random dogs. Both times one of those little bastards as shown on the Black and White Whiskey label.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

The kind of people who want to keep XL Bully's are the kind of people who shouldn't be allowed to have them.

 

[Lotte]

Of course she was more arsed about her fucking dog than her cousin. XL bully owners tend to be like that, they make owning a vicious murder machine of a dog their whole personality.

It's funny, staffies are bully breeds too, they're basically small pits, and yet I like them and I'm not frightened of them unless they're dangerous. All the ones I've met have been very friendly. XL bullies scare the shit out of me. They have cold dead eyes.

Where does it say that?

I got bitten on the arse by a rottweiler once. Needed stitches. Owner was completely unapologetic, only interested in continuing to led her dangerous dog roam off the lead.

I've also owned a rottweiler. Lovely dogs if you train them properly, but they simply can't be off-lead in public places.

 

[Lotte]

Yeah, I like rotties well enough but they're an accident waiting to happen in the wrong hands. I'd only feel safe around one if it was well trained.

The poor man. I wonder if letting a dangerous dog escape meets the threshold for gross negligence manslaughter?

 

[Lotte]

As far as I'm concerned, yes. Those dogs are weapons.

Worse, weapons don't go off and kill people on their own.

I met my first XL bully a couple of weeks ago while staying with my auntie and uncle in St Annes on Sea. They were chatting to some people outside their local and one of the men had a dog that was very obviously an XL bully. He wasn't muzzled, and he was a big fucker with little beady eyes. My auntie petted the dog and he was pretty chilled, but I'm not very good at masking, so the owner could see I was frightened and immediately kept going on about how friendly he was, that he'd never been in a fight etc. I made some crack about how the dog reminded me of Ross Barkley (well, him and Wayne Rooney) and then had to explain who Barkley was, but I was nervous as hell. I think I offended the owner by being visibly frightened of the dog, but those things genuinely put the willies up me. I'm sure he was safe, but I still didn't want to go near him.

Some dog owners do take it personally if people don't like their dogs. And on a dog-related note, I hate those extendable leads. I was walking on the Fallowfield Loop when this guy came in the opposite direction with two dogs on really long leads and one of them, a malamute, ran around me in a circle and my legs ended up being tied together, and I had to spin in the opposite direction to free myself. It was like something out of a cartoon. I laughed at the time but was annoyed about it later, and relieved the dogs were friendly, because if they hadn't been...ugh.
