The rules have changed if you own an XL Bully dog in Scotland.
It is currently an offence to:
- have an XL Bully in public without a lead and muzzle
- breed, or breed from, an XL Bully
- sell, give away or rehome an XL Bully
- abandon an XL Bully or let it stray
However, more rules are being brought in on 1st August 2024. You must apply for a Certificate of Exemption by 31 July 2024 to keep an XL Bully dog. Otherwise, you’ll be committing a criminal offence.
Paisley Housing Association will be following the safeguards set out by the Scottish Government and will take legal action against any tenant who is not following the new laws.
