The owner of an XL Bully said he is ‘terrified’ that 18 of his dog’s puppies will be put down after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a ban on the breed.
Jamie, from North Lanarkshire in Scotland, said he owns a three-year-old female XL Bully which just gave birth to a litter of pups despite having no plans for her to be bred.
He said that his dog mated with his sister’s pet, who is also an XL Bully, and gave birth to a ‘rather large litter’ which he says he will now struggle to find homes for.
Jamie said it would be ‘absolutely heartbreaking’ to have to give away the dogs to a rescue centre and is even more fearful that they might be put down, which would be ‘soul destroying’ for him.
It comes as Rishi Sunak yesterday announced a ban on the dangerous dog breed by the end of the year following a series of horrific attacks.
Jamie told LBC: ‘I’m an owner of a female XL Bully who wasn’t planned to be bred but my sister’s dog – also a Bully – mated with her and resulted in a rather large litter.
‘My plan was to neuter her and I actually enquired about it but it was too close to her season.
