The XL Bully is a type of American Bully, which is a breed recognized by the US United Kennel Club in 2013. The American Bully is a hybrid breed that mixes several other bully breeds, including the American Pit Bull Terrier, English Bulldogs, Olde English Bulldogge, and American Bulldogs. The XL Bully is one of four size categories of American Bully, which includes the Pocket, Standard, Classic, and XL. The XL Bully is generally over 20 inches in height and can weigh between 20-60kg.
It is important to note that XL Bully dogs were responsible for half of all dog-related deaths in the UK between 2021 and June 2023. While American Bullies are generally friendly and gentle, they are extremely powerful and have been known to hurt and even kill people. It is legal to own an XL Bully in the UK, and the breed is not subject to any prohibitions under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. However, it is crucial to properly train and socialize these dogs to prevent any aggressive behavior.
