Leads didn't work in this instance sadly. Unmuzzled, hopefully siezed and pts, whilst owner gets max.

That is so sad and at 77 she might not be able to have another dog. Two lives effectively destroyed because people can't control their dogs.

So sad that poor little dog and owner , I’m very conscious that I am 78 and a lot weaker than I was 10 years ago and I’m extra cautious if I see big dogs but this poor women did the right thing by crossing the road and still got injured and lost her little dog

Man jailed over XL bullies attack on Redcar beach

Good result and summing up by judge

 

[splashgirl45]

At least the husky has survived , doubt a small dog would though

Why has it taken 18 months to make such an obvious decision ?

 

[Jenko109]

Those dogs were housed in kennels since February LAST YEAR.

It is so horribly unfair to them. They should have been PTS immediately.

 

[skinnydipper]

"the two XL bullies who have been housed in special kennels since the attack in February last year."

Who has paid for that?

 

[bonny]

Who has paid for that?

All of us

 

[skinnydipper]

There is a lot to be said for shooting them.

Then dogs aren't languishing in kennels for months and we aren't footing the bill.

Weirdest looking lurcher I've ever seen

'Rescued' at 7 months, placed with a family who have done no training and now is a 10 month old adolescent, that already dislikes other dogs.

Back up for rehoming. What could possibly go wrong...

 

[Spotherisk]

She looks to have plenty of xl
Bully characteristics to me, I didn’t think they could be resold (although I’m not total au fait with the legalities).

Can be rehomed with children

Lurcher my a**e ! No socialisation, no training, bad with other dogs, sounds a wonderful prospect.

Plenty of characteristics to be considered a bull type but what characteristics make you think XL bully specifically?

Difficult to judge confirmation from that photo but, as far as I can see, her muzzle’s a bit long and she doesn’t seem blocky enough - she definitely doesn’t have a chest wider than it is deep. And, above all else, there’s no way she’s tall enough to meet the requirement.

Agree that she‘s no lurcher, and she might become more of type as she develops, but at this point in time she doesn’t look like an XL bully to me.

Eats anything, loves children.

She’s a 10mo bitch, not surprising she’s not of XL proportions. Yet.

And this one

Currently not of type therefore currently there is no law against them rehoming her.

 

[Amymay Again]

Currently not of type therefore currently there is no law against them rehoming her.

Well, that's not strictly true....

 

[FieldOrnaments]

Would she not qualify as a pitbull type even if not big enough for an XL bully?

 

[rara007]

You’d think so…

This is apparently the dog, which is believed to be an XL. It’s to be PTS anyway.



If I came across a dog in public with that enormous head and those small piggy eyes I’d be giving it as much clearance as I could, even if it didn’t measure up to height to be technically an XL.

Horrible looking thing.

Her mum has released images of the injuries. I have never seen anything like it.
