Episode Details

Tens of thousands of XL Bully owners in the UK are navigating a tightrope under a new law that bans these powerful dogs — but with a twist: if you still have one, you’re legally allowed to keep it — just barely. You must hold a Certificate of Exemption, which comes with strict rules: the dog must stay at your address (with limited 30-day moves), be muzzled and leashed in public, handled by someone 16+, and kept in a secure space. You also must report any permanent moves, deaths, or exports — and police can check the dog’s microchip and your certificate within five days. Break any rule, and your dog could be seized, your exemption revoked, or you face criminal charges. It’s not just a ban — it’s a high-stakes, high-responsibility legal tightrope walk.
