Worryingly, he looks rather like an XL bully. What did the sellers tell you about his parentage?
Hello Judy,
Many thanks for the reply.
We were told that he's a American Bully and is 16 to 18 week old, and this is the information we've received from the owner who bought it from the breeder.
I'm aware there's new laws in place (or imminent) regarding XL Bullies, so if this puppy is one, how do we stand as we plan on visiting the vets for a regular checkup soon.
Many thanks again.

Hello Joanne,
We're in England, UK.
We plan on visiting a vet soon for a regular checkup, and was actually told he's an "American Bully" - so fingers crossed, he's not an XL Bullie.

Oh dear. You could have problems ahead, because his actual breed isn't relevant if he fits the physical statistics criteria.
Here's the web page that explains the rules.
New legal restrictions on XL Bully dog now in force
And here is the one on how to see how your dog matches against the physical characteristics.
Check if a dog is an XL Bully

Cheers again for the reply & links, Joanne.
As we only have a Puppy, it's difficult to match most of the characteristics/statistics of an XL Bully on the link to what we have, as the pup isn't adult yet - therefore not fully formed & mature.
I think I'm at the stage where I'm just going to have to hope for the best on our visit to the vets.
I just hope he doesn't get seized.
We certainly have the money to purchase public liability insurance, neutering, exemption certificate, etc'.

I think there are different rules in for pups..giving you longer to neuter etc ...it maybe worth talking to your local dog warden ....
