The 26-year-old, who also has a nine-year-old son, says the government has misconstrued the breed.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Grown men have actually tried taking him off me because they think I can\u2019t control him,&quot; Yas told the Lancashire Post. &quot;People grab their children and cross the road when they see us, calling him a dangerous beast.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: XL Bully sellers desperately flogging beasts on Gumtree for just \u00a3350 ahead of ban<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>For more information and stories about XL Bullies, click here.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Yas got Dinosaur as a puppy back in February of this year and said she&apos;s had no problems with him so far. &quot;My XL Bully is sweet, goofy, clever and gentle,&quot; she added. &quot;Dogs are the product of their environment.

He said a &quot;pattern of behaviour&quot; had prompted the decision.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It is clear this is not about a handful of badly trained dogs,&quot; he said. &quot;While owners already have a responsibility to keep their dogs under control, I want to reassure people that we are urgently working on ways to stop these attacks and protect the public.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>If outlawed, XL Bullies will join the Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Brasileiro on the banned dogs list, making it illegal to own, breed or sell them. And although the ban isn&apos;t in force yet, it&apos;s already starting to have an effect on owners and sellers alike.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31187355.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/1_Closeup-of-beautiful-dark-brown-XL-Bully-dog-with-the-leash-and-cut-made-ears.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Breeders and pet owners are now flogging their animals for low prices in a bid to get rid of the dogs, with one advert listing the animals for as little as \u00a3350.
