Much As I Hate To Admit It . . ..

. . . (because I'm from Suffolk), there appears to plenty of common sense prevailing just up the road from here, in Norfolk:

I actually saw an XL bully puppy the other day! I asked the owner how old it was, and he said just 11 months! It was a huge baby and very sloppy!!

I knew a woman, Canary42, who swore that she'd seen 'NFN' actually written on her medical notes 😊

 

They're generally as soppy as it's possible to be, Piggy!

It is wrong to penalise a whole breed of dog due to the actions of a few dogs.

But I wouldn't have a dog of the bully breeds or the most vicious of all - a Chihuahua.  Many of them are badly bred and potential timebombs.

I love big dogs, German Shepherds or a Bullmastiff would be perfect.

Yappy little Yorkshire Terriers aren't much better than Chihuahuas in my opinion, Wolfie!

I love big dogs too.

I'd happily have a Tibetan Mastiff in my life but
(a) my cats wouldn't like it ; and 
(b) with prices close to £1m each for some of them, neither would my bank manager!

One that size ...your cats might have to just lump it Chris !! ☺️ They're just gorgeous, but the grooming 🫢🤪

^^^ Easy peasy, Steff!

If my circunstaces allowed a dog, I would prefer a bigger one (like the labrador we had when I was a kid).  

I can't stand little yappers, my neighbours have two dachunds and they yap away in the garden all the time. 

I think Tibetan Mastiff would be a step (100 steps!) too far, although some friends of mine have a St Bernard and it's a lovely dog.

//This legislation wrongly punishes dogs for the way they look and distracts from the real causes of aggressive behaviour: the way in which they’re bred and the experiences they have in life.//

Blame the owners and breeders, not the pooches.

It's the "rectums" that treat, train and breed these dogs badly that create an animal that's apparently dangerous.
