Dogs won't be allowed the brought to the Island
The XL Bully has been added to a list of dogs that cannot be imported to the Isle of Man.
Tynwald voted in favour of the move after the recent decision to make owning the breed without an exemption illegal in England and Wales from February.
XL Bullies already on the Island won't be affected by the change.
Clare Barber MHK, Minister for Environment, Food and Agriculture, says: "It has been important to move quickly, in order to close a potential loophole for additional XL Bullies to be introduced to the Isle of Man, and I’d like to thank officers and Tynwald members for their support on the matter.
"XL Bullies already on the Island are not affected by this change, although we would always impress upon owners the importance of behaviour training for dogs."
The other dogs banned from importation to the Isle of Man are Pit Bull Terrier types, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Braziliero.
The importation ban will come into force at 00:01 on Wednesday 22 November.
