The daughter said "he told her when the puppies start fighting stop them with that brush". FFS, made me wonder if he was trying to get the woman attacked.

 

The concept that an incomer/unknown entity to that household or pack was advised to use a brush to chastise puppies in front of the parents is madness. I suspect an awful lot of dogs would take exception to that.

Another one who "didn't realise they were dangerous".

Gotta love the old US gun laws.

Just making assumption here but there was a quote that he thought the government ban was "stupid", he says he didn't believe the government. Or the many press reports recently of this breed attacks. I shouldn't judge on appearances and the photo the press found but......

 

'Some of the puppies' were still in the house, so others had been sold on, which at what, £1000 a pop explains the bling at least. Suspect he was a breeder.

 

 

I might add my opinion...

As for the breed of dog, what I had read was that most of the XL bullies have the same father or grandfather (or both) which is reputed to be a bit unstable even for this breed - an American - something like 90% has its DNA. The look of the dog and power doesn't suggest Mrs Miggins as owners, but someone who wants a status symbol (noted we've seen all the press reports, a lady saying "these dogs are harmless" yet the man who wants the status symbol is kept out of shot, the photo above might be why....). They are a new breed, new breeders who are breeding for the look and not the temperament. If we want dogs to live in a human world we need to breed them so that they can, and train them the same, otherwise we are just breeding them to be put down prematurely. Seen so many recently - since about lockdown that are aggressive and poorly trained, the wrong breed for the owner and accommodation that when they get to the park all they want to do is chase, run, and get rid of built up aggression. Which puts everyone at risk. We don't want to be adding a new aggressive breed into this mix
