Rebecca Harris owns Bassaleg Dog Walking Field in Newport, Wales, and is allowing XL Bullys to walk freely on her land, which is surrounded by secure fencing and several gates, with their owners.
Under rules brought in by the Government, all members of breed have to be neutered in order to qualify for an exemption certificate for the ban which came into effect today.
EXCLUSIVE: From today onwards, it is a criminal offence to have an XL Bully without an exemption, and owners face having the dogs seized by police and given an unlimited fine.
A candlelit vigil will be held outside the gates leading to No 10 where distraught owners will hold onto 'cute' pictures of the hounds ahead of the ban which comes into force at midnight.
From February 1 it will become a criminal offence to have an XL bully without an exemption, and owners face having the dogs seized by police and given an unlimited fine.
