XL BULLYS
​
From 31st December 2023 XL Bully type dogs are subject to the Dangerous Dogs Act and must be licensed.
​
Firstly we want to make it very clear that we do NOT discriminate against any dog breed and we welcome ALL breeds/types to use our facility.
​
However, we hope you can understand that we do need to follow legislation/laws and ensure the policies that we are covered by under our own Insurance company are being adhered too.
​
We have been in contact with our insurance company and are very pleased we can allow XL Bullys to continue using our facilities UNMUZZLED and OFF LEAD!
Please see below what we received from our insurers and then read below the photo for more clarification...
