French Bullmastiff.
Are these breeds known to be vicious? That poor little girl!
First they outlawed guns
then they outlawed knives
then they outlawed certain dog breeds
All they have left for self defense is to secretly mix in dangerous dog bloodlines into other breeds that arent’ illegal. French mastif,staffordshire, etc.
Since the “dangerous” breeds are not outlawed in ireland, there’s an unending supply of fighting/attack dogs to mix in with other more docile breeds. And now that this secretive mixing has begun, it is going to be impossible to identify a probable dangerous dog by appearance alone.
Unintended consequences.
Muggers in england use dogs as their intimidation weapons in place of knives nowdays. And the populace has responded by buying “tough” dogs of their own to counter the muggers...since no handheld weapons of any kind are allowed in the hands of private citizens. Period. NO exceptions.
All this dog problem in england could be eliminated almost overnight if they would simply allow concealed carry permits to their upstanding citizens. people would lose this silly obsession with protection dogs almost immediately. They wouldn’t even have to abolish their ban on handguns. Just start issuing carry permits for tazers. Private ownership of tazers isn’t even allowed in england.
Think about what these idiots across the pond have accomplished. Their idiotic laws have created this problem. What do you consider more dangerous? A knife, or a psychotic dog that can rip your arm off? And now that the black market has started mixing their attack dogs into the docile breeds to circumvent the law, you never know when a beagle or a schnauzer is going to rip your kids face off.

Good and brave dad.
I have had 3 Dogue de Bordeaux aka French Mastiff...
the largest weighing in at 200 lbs..they were the best dogs I ever had..the largest “Weatherby” would sit out on the front lawn with my daughter and her friends while they played and would not let any one near them..he was their protector...unfortunately he died of bloat, something I never heard of before until then
They are a beautiful dog but the massive damage they can cause in just a few seconds is frightening..

Did the British police arrest him for possessing an “offensive weapon”?
What you have in your picture is a Bullmastiff. The article says the the dog involved is a French Mastiff, which is also known as a Dogue de Bordeaux. If you ever saw the movie Turner & Hooch, that dog was a French Mastiff/Dogue de Bordeaux. You might want to post a correction.
