A British woman, Sophie Coulthard, who owns an XL Bully dog named Billy, is encouraging other owners to showcase their responsible ownership despite the recent negative attention the breed has received. Sophie, who goes by Training Billy the Bully on social media, has received numerous messages from scared XL Bully dog owners who are hesitant to walk their dogs due to public judgment. In a TikTok video that has gained two million views, Sophie urges owners to overcome their fear and demonstrate what responsible ownership looks like. The video has sparked a heated debate online, with some supporting the right for all dogs to be walked, while others criticize the breed. Sophie emphasizes the importance of showing people the positive aspects of owning an XL Bully dog, such as training and responsible care. Despite the backlash, she believes that banning the breed is not a solution, as irresponsible owners will simply move on to another breed. Sophie’s own experience with Billy has been positive, describing him as a loving and well-behaved family companion. She believes that legislation should focus on licensing owners rather than banning the breed altogether. The call to ban XL Bully dogs in the UK has gained momentum, with advocates pushing for a more immediate action to address the perceived threat these dogs pose to communities. The government has announced a ban on the breed, but with an amnesty for existing owners who fulfill certain requirements. The debate surrounding XL Bully dogs continues as stakeholders work to define the breed and implement appropriate measures to address public safety concerns.
