It’s being claimed that hundreds of American XL bully dogs in the UK are being bred from pit bull semen imported from the United States. The Daily Telegraph claims that despite a ban on pit bull breeding in Britain, American kennels charge up to £16,000 for frozen semen, which is legal, and ship it to the UK to produce “XL bully” puppies. The US breeders use two different registers to record pit bulls and American bullies, allowing their semen to be sold as either breed to different customers.

Mum of two and owner of XL 'Tank', Alecia Elliot says Tank is the “friendliest and most loyal dog ever and is a support to her autistic son. She’s also starting a public petition to fight the PM’s plan to ban the breed.
