Dangerous Dogs: Registration

Asked by Alex BrewerLiberal DemocratDepartment for Environment, Food and Rural AffairsTabled Answered 12 January 2026UIN 102267

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that pet owners can de-register dogs which were incorrectly registered as XL bullies.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

We are currently working to develop a withdrawal scheme so that owners who no longer believe that their dog is an XL Bully can apply to have their certificate of exemption for their dog withdrawn. Information about this process will be available soon.
