Create a maximum height requirement for the XL Bully ban

Petition Details

XL bully dogs have been banned, yet we feel the guidelines for the dog are vague, and there are minimum height measurements. We urge the Government to create a maximum height measurement for the ban, as we feel it could prevent many dogs being mislabelled.

Additional Information

We are concerned that many dogs may be mislabelled and misidentified due to the vague requirements. Many breeds stand over 19 inches and we believe they shouldn't be victimised. Some owners of large dogs fear their dog may be misidentified due to the guidelines’ vagueness. We believe a maximum height would stop this for many large breed owners. We believe the vagueness of the criteria may lead to innocent dogs such as Labrador mixed breeds being victims as well as other large breeds.
