Owning an XL bully dog without putting safeguards in place will be illegal in Scotland from Friday.
The measures, which replicate those introduced by the UK government, will require owners to muzzle their XL bully dogs and keep them on a lead when in public.
Additionally, it will be illegal to sell, abandon, give away or breed the dogs, with penalties for any breaches of the new safeguards including up to six months imprisonment and a maximum fine of £5,000.
