XL Bully dog owners are being reminded they must apply for an exemption certificate as the deadline approaches.
From August 1, it will be a criminal offence to own an XL Bully without an exemption certificate or to have applied for one by that date.Owners can apply online or by post for a £92.40 fee, while they must also obtain third party insurance and neuter and microchip their dogs.The deadline for online applications is midnight on July 31 while postal applications must have been received by July 15.
“We are now half-way through the time period available to apply for an exemption and I encourage owners who have not yet applied to do so now. Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
