XL Bullies

Looks like hes having a ball to me

Humans are not allowed to drink in the stands, but a dog is allowed to run riot

Looks like a nasty dog, I wouldn’t want to be next to that at a game.

What on earth from that picture makes you think that looks like a “nasty dog”?

It's clearly a staffy

I’d say staff from that photo.

Rubbish day for the dog, unless he's local to the area.

Can’t be. Darran said it was one of those XL Bullies.

I’m no expert on dog breeds, but I’ve kept Staffies for 30 odd years and from that photo, if it’s not a staff it’s doing a good impersonation of one.

Staffs are a popular breed for people who suffer with severe anxiety, ADHD and such like. My current staff could do with one of those dogs mind, he suffers terribly with anxiety. As soon as the heavy rain starts today he’ll go to pieces.

That's an interesting comment, what does your dog do differently when he hears the rain? Is it the sound that's making him like this?

Well I was waiting for you to ask that. You put it on a thread called “XL bullies” and added a tweet that referenced XL Bullies.

I watched The Dog House on Channel 4 the other night. Some poor old fella had to take his dog to rescue because the dog suffered with severe anxiety and the owner couldn’t cope. It was heartbreaking. Thankfully the dog was rehomed and was happy. They didn’t go back to the previous owner but I’d imagine the poor old bugger is still suffering from guilt.

Same effect as when he hears fireworks, thunder, rain on the windows, emergency vehicle sirens…

He can’t catch his breath, runs into every room, looking for somewhere to hide, and when he realises he can’t get away from it he tries digging through the floors, to get away from the noise.

Yeah my dog has ruined my house in his panic, kitchen door destroyed, worktops in kitchen chewed, scragged all my carpets.

With firework night I can medicate him (only Xanax works) but for heavy rain, thunder, police sirens etc I’m knackered, especially when I’m not in the house.

Yeah but where did ‘I’ say it?
