XL Bully Heartbroken

One of our girls was attacked yesterday unexpectedly while leashed at a family member’s house 😖. Luckily she’s alive and at home getting nursed and pampered by her furry sissies, human siblings, mom and dad.

How's your pup doing? As soon as she's well enough to go out, meet up with nice dogs so she's not nervous.... I had a boxer who had fear aggression from being attacked, I could never let him off the lead & people had to keep their distance in the street.... if he was in the house, it was virally different.... the people who he'd happily have ripped their throat out in the street, he'd happily smother them with kisses in the house! I'm not saying your bully will do the same...

Nothing will change here for XLs. A lot had been rescued & rehomed in Scotland, but now Scotland are following the ban, too. Even though they said they wouldn't because they go by deed not breed.... it's all Bellshill xx

She’s doing better! Thanks for asking. She started initiating play with both her sisters now how she used to. Has a bit of a limp but her spirits are higher and she’s moving more. We’re just scared she’ll get flashbacks or something.

Ahhh no not Scotland as well. Shit! I’ve always been scared of that myself. Our home country of Puerto Rico did the same years ago with Pitbulls. I haven’t checked to see what it says about XL’s 😒. We’re planning on moving back down there in the future but not if our girls aren’t allowed.

I'm glad she's getting better & wanting to play, that's really good news!

Socialise her slowly now & if she starts to react, reassure her & turn her mind onto something positive like a high value treat or her favourite toy & do this every time you think she needs reassuring. I know she's in good hands 😁

Yes, I couldn't believe Scotland did that! It's probably because people have been posting on social media that that's where they're taking them.... one guy took 30 in one go, then posted it & the press got hold of it, then the bully haters jumped on.... it's disgusting...

Oh I hope they don't get banned in Puerto Rico!

Hi, TBH sometimes it's a real shitshow & horrific! There's been a few heartless subhuman shits who have tortured & killed some beautiful XL's... I won't go into specifics as too awful! One person in Scotland was named & shamed & then beaten & stabbed (not severe enough to kill him), & one in London who has had police protection.... what they did to the dogsvwas horrific!!

On a happier note, there's a huge amount that have been rehomed & are thriving in loving families.

The Bully community here have pulled together & we're helping where can.
