American XL bully dogs will no longer be collected by Colchester City Council due to "Health and safety concerns." American XL bully dogs will no longer be collected by a council's dog wardens due to "health and safety concerns."
But dog law specialist Trevor Cooper told BBC Essex the council had a statutory duty to collect stray dogs.Colchester City Council said their dog warden's are not trained to "handle such powerful dogs." "These dogs have been chipped, but the chips are not registered, and we believe that the dogs are not contained strays but are being abandoned at vets by breeders who, due to the recent publicity, have been unable to sell their dogs," the spokesperson added.
