From February 1st 2025, it will be illegal to own an XL Bully without a ‘Certificate of Exemption’
Kilkenny County Council are reminding XL Bully owners that if they wish to keep their dog, they must apply for a Certificate of Exemption before Saturday, February 1.
The certificate allows them to keep their dog until the end of its natural life and specifies the dog’s licence details, microchip details, neutering details, age and description. It also specifies the dog owner’s name, address, date of birth and contact number.
