An American Bully dog show has been cancelled after concerns over animal welfare.
It was due to be held just five miles from where a six year old girl was mauled by a pack of XL Bully’s last month. Police later seized 17 animals.
The breed has been involved in a string of fatal attacks, including the death of a dog walker Ian Symes, 34, who was killed by an 8st 3lb dog called Kong in Fareham, Hants, last August, and 17 month old Bella-Rae Birch, who died in St Helens in March last year.
