More details

XL Bullies are not inherently dangerous or vicious. Like any other breed, their temperament largely depends on how they're raised and treated.It's unfair that all XL Bullies should suffer because of some owners' negligence. banning a specific breed does not solve issues related with dog attacks or aggression. It is time we shift our focus from blaming breeds towards promoting responsible ownership including proper training, socialization, care and love for all dogs irrespective of its breed.
