The 蹤獲弝け (蹤獲弝け) has welcomed following campaigning by the veterinary profession.

The new deadline to neuter XL Bully dogs that were under seven months on 31 January 2024 will now be 30 June 2025.

Responding to the announcement 蹤獲弝け President Anna Judson said:

Were pleased that the Government has listened to the veterinary professions concerns and has taken on board our calls to extend the neutering age for XL Bullies in England and Wales to the recommended 18 months instead of one year. Given increasing evidence that neutering large breeds of dogs early can lead to developmental orthopaedic problems, alongside other medical conditions, this move strikes the right balance between ensuring the dogs health and preventing breeding. It will also help ease the likely pressure on already overstretched vet teams.
