They are still hopeful that they will be able to keep him as according to the rescues they have contacted they are not allowed to take them as it is illegal to rehome, abandon, breed from, give away etc. an xl Bully dog. Don't think there is a way around that. I'll keep you updated. They have until June next year.

However, if they are able to afford it, would a boarding kennel be the way forward?  There are many secure fields being set up around the country for exercising dogs off lead, mayB contact them to see if there is a way via such organisations.

[Taz2]

They do use a secure field at the moment. He enjoys being able to run and play but seems to miss the company of other dogs as, obviously, they are not allowed to mix while unmuzzled and off lead in the field. I'm sure they are exploring all of the various possibilities.

[CLKD]

Do let me know.

Oh what a shame Taz, I hope they find somewhere 

[Taz2]

Thanks jaypo and CLKD.

Update 3 hours ago:

"A pet dog which fatally injured a 10-year-old girl was an XL bully, police have confirmed.

"North Yorkshire Police said the animal had been euthanised after it killed Savannah Bentham at her family home near Malton in North Yorkshire on Friday.
Savannah died at the scene despite efforts by medical professionals and a member of the public who came to the family's aid.

"A spokesperson said the dog had been with the family for four years and had a Certificate of Exemption under new legislation introduced in February.
It had also been neutered in line with the law change, they added.

"The police spokesperson confirmed the dog was destroyed by a vet on Tuesday after "detailed independent assessments" to determine its breed.
"To aid the report for the coroner, an autopsy is due to take place on the dog to help determine if there were any medical factors involved," they said".

They did everything right then. All legal. Poor family.

You really can't trust them around children, or any dog for that matter,the only difference is when a dog that size attacks you're in big trouble

[CLKD]

I agree.  My JR could give a sharp nip then she would lick my hand to apologise.  Ratters ...... my cocker didn't. like smalls, she would growl if anything under 14 came close or if an entire dog was in the fields.  I wouldn't allow a child to be in the room with my dog or cats unless I was there!!

With all the publicity   

[jaypo]

It's just unimaginable isn't it? Losing a child is horrific but to be mauled,omg,poor little girl 

Our German shepherd was a big lump but I always told my step children,you DO NOT come downstairs in the morning until we're down there, like we've said before,just takes an accidental step on the tail etc for a dog to turn

[CLKD]

Several more by bullies/types in the last 3 weeks.   . People who think that they dogs are OK around babies 

[jaypo]

Yep a death in my home town,Aberdeen,41 year old woman, the dog had previously attacked another dog apparently,why people still persist with these dogs I've no idea.....Darwinism comes to mind

[CLKD]

 . ......... certainly cuts out the gene pool to some extent.  According to the News the dog warden had informed the woman with the collie that was attacked that unless others came forwards as witnesses nothing could be done!  R there different Rules North of our Border?  I would have thought that the Vet would have been a witness!
