XL bullies: Number registered in Northern Ireland triples

The figures from councils also show the number has more than tripled from the 90 registered in October 2023.

It is illegal to sell, gift, exchange or breed an XL bully dog and rescue centres are no longer able to accept the breed.

The dogs must also be muzzled and kept on a short lead in public places.

From 31 December it will be illegal to own an XL bully-type dog without an exemption certificate in Northern Ireland.

The restrictions are aimed at safeguarding people, livestock or any other animal from attacks by XL bully dogs.

The scheme to apply for an exemption certificate opened on Friday and applications must be posted to councils before 15 December, or emailed by 31 December.

It is already illegal to own an XL bully in the rest of the UK without an exemption certificate.
