Kildare Dog Trainer Says Breed Bans Don't Work: "If We Wipe Out Xl Bullies Tomorrow, There Will Be A Different Dog In The Headlines"

A specialist stakeholder group is getting a list of recommendations ready for laws around certain breeds of dogs.

Doherty said: "If we just wipe out Xl Bullies tomorrow, there will be a different dog in the headlines."

He believes a lack of dog wardens is a massive issue.

He added that the the cropping of ears in some dogs is a trauma that should be avoided.
