DANGEROUS XL Bully dogs are selling for \u00a325 online as a ban on the dangerous pets looms in just weeks.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of owners are frantically trying to sell their XL Bully pets after ministers confirmed a crackdown coming in next month.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A Sun Online investigation found more than 700 for sale on one website\u00a0this week\u00a0– with some of the dogs being traded for just \u00a325.<\/p>\n
Many new adverts have been posted in the past 24 hours following a new Government announcement on the ban's timeline, which follows a series of gruesome mauling attacks.<\/p>\n
We found one 14-month-old XL Bully put up for sale by an owner in Swansea in Wales for just \u00a325.<\/p>\n
The online ad suggested the dog would "walk with a harness but needs more training".<\/p>\n

"I\u2019ve done all those things now. He\u2019s probably the best guard I\u2019ve had – he\u2019s really sharp and he\u2019s also protective when out walking."<\/p>\n
