The American XL bully dog will need to be defined before it can be banned from the country.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has described American XL bully dogs as a “danger to our communities” and announced plans to ban the breed following a public outcry after a series of recent attacks.
Sunak said he has asked government ministers to bring together police and canine experts to legally define the characteristics of the American XL bully, which is not recognised as a breed by groups such as the Kennel Club in Britain or the American Kennel Club in the United States. “It is not currently a breed defined in law, so this vital first step must happen fast,’’ Sunak said in a video statement posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.
