I’d urge anyone not to carry a knife for the purpose of defending yourself against a dog attack.
For starters, you’re very unlikely to be able to stop an attack from this type of dog with a knife.
I’d go with the earlier suggestion a poster had of looking for escape routes or safe places to...
I haven’t seen that many Bully XL’s where I live. There’s three or four I see regularly around my way.
I do a lot of walking in the countryside where you never used to see any. I see a fair few now.
I guess owners are less inclined to walk them around people now.
I suppose that’s a good...
Heard a lot of
“He’s only acted up since I have to put a muzzle on him, now he is traumatised and stressed he’s more dangerous”

Insurance companies have grouped Akitas in with other dangerous dogs and they have been the subject of breed-specific legislation in other states. They are popular dogs throughout the United States despite the fact that they are the third...
“Over decades, the pit-bull terrier developed the ability to attack suddenly, and sustain grave injuries without retreating. This genetic history is present in the XL Bully. “These dogs, being bred for aggression, are likely to inherit aggression,” says David Sargan, a geneticist at Cambridge...
Sometimes these types of dogs come up to me when I’m out and about and nudge my leg or push against my leg.
With most other breeds I’d pat their heads or whatnot.
These things just feel powerful and not in any way cute. I don’t know what to do when they approach. I imagine any number of things...
I would not move into a street with Bully XL’s.
Partly because of the dogs and partly because I wouldn’t want to live on a street where the type of people that own XL’s live.
Having said that, enjoy your new home. Hope the move goes well.
