  1. Why can the BBC get the name right but not only can no one at CH4 get it right, but even the guest doesn't know the name. The American Bully XL, is a version of the American Bully bred to be, as the name suggests, extra large. It is a recent breed from 2004 that is bred to weight 60Kg and be able to take down a full grown adult male. They have only been in the UK since 2014. The breed has an existing definition by the American Bully Kennel Club, so far from the guests assertions that it will be difficult to define the breed, one only needs to look up the definition online. The original breeding roots were American pitbulls, bulldogs and Mastiffs. Already problem breeds. The problem with all american bullys not just the XL variety, is just like their American pitbull lineage they can be loving and wonderful one day and turn on their owner the next. This is a demonstrated trait of the breed. The idea of the guest that it's training that defines a dog not genetics is rubbish. A well trained dog will be better than one not well trained. But if that training is counter to instinct the dogs just going to be fighting itself all the time and eventually training will fail. Instinct and breed based traits are the ENTIRE point behind breeds. This proposed ban if confined only to bully XLs is far too narrow. It should extend to all pitbull derivatives. They are dangerous animals bred only for the battlefield to literally rip people apart. We don't need those kinds of animals on civilian streets.
