Any idea which breed/s these were, haven't seen any mention in the Press.  We have a bullyXXX in the village  though I haven't seen her walking him since he was 12 weeks old, the size of an adult Staffie.

I'm reading a book about a girl who spent 15 years working at Battersea Dogs' Home, I thought it would be a bit down beat but she writes in a humourour fashion.

They looked like big staffies so probably crossed with a larger breed

BullyXXX mayB?

We have an American XL Bully living next door to us. He's not aggressive (although with that wide mouth he does look it) but he is such a powerful dog. He's a year old and weighs over 60kg. They also have four young children and two cats. They moved in (rented house) in February and both cats are slowly moving in with us. Thankfully not the children

and not the bully?   Problem is, people don't realise than when someone falls, screams etc. it may trigger an instinct in the dog, regardless of size 

[jaypo]

That chills me to the bone Taz,an XL AND children?? I know they can be big soppy dogs but like clkd says,if a child treads on its tail or runs and falls on top of it,I can barely think about the consequences 

[CLKD]

Those situations happen with small dogs ......... canines revert to being 'wild' when instinct is triggered.  A JR had a young baby recently  although the injuries weren't serious. 

[jaypo]

Yes all dogs can be triggered but a very small dog will rarely kill someone,a large dog can kill a child in seconds 

[CLKD]

Unless it's a baby not long from Hospital  . 

[jaypo]

Then it's owner should be shot for leaving the dog in the same room,it's SO infuriating,the same thing comes out of these owners mouths time and time again.......oh,it's never done that before 🤬🤬🤬

[CLKD]

It probably hasn't - it's the baby's smell, noise, unfamiliarity ............ which is why dogs and children up to the age of 10 should never be left alone!

[jaypo]

Then they're idiots these people,none of my dogs have EVER bitten but I'd NEVER leave them with any child alone, I remember when we had our Alsatian ,when my step kids came for the weekend,I told them NEVER to get out of bed until we got up,because as good as they can be,it can take the slightest of things to make them snap and her moosh was like a crocodiles 

[CLKD]

I agree.  Dogs and ..........

[jaypo]

Yet another person killed by a bully XL a young fit man,these dogs need to be banned

[Songbird]

I agree Jaypo. One time is bad enough but the instances reported in recent times where someone has been badly injured or killed by this type of dogs is just mind-blowing.
