First topic message reminder :

Hi
We're planning to drive to Poland this summer and of course we're taking Debo. Was just thinking about driving through Europe, can we expect any problems regarding Debo? He's staffy, but not KC registered,his mum is but dad isn't.

There is no border in Germany so no one will check us it's only France . Defra didn't give me any info,told me to contact French embassy. Will contact the euro tunnel next week and will keep you post it.

Maybe I'm just way too cautious , and think too much about the what ifs ?? Breakdown in Germany , random police check etc . German authorities ar much tougher than France in general (I work for a German company and can spend a lot of time there sometimes)
Hope you get some good news from the Tunnel, if you get anything official in a letter or an email could you please please forward it to us at the forum , you can get my contact details from Steve via the contact staff link or pass on your email address to me Smile

It doesn't mention X breeds there, does it? Or dogs that you can't prove heritage for? Not all that helpful, really. Sad

I have exported Stafford pups to France before, the last one being 11 mths ago.
I can tell you what was required if it helps.

The pup needed its full puppy jabs ( so make sure your dogs upto date)
Wormed and front lined for ticks and fleas.
Microchipped
Passport
Rabies vaccination and could leave 21 days after this jab.
Plus a fit too travel from the vet 24 hrs before departing.
A young pup out the nest ( so to speak) only needs the 1st rabies jab, but for an older thats returning to the UK then a blood test is needed to check the dogs rabies antibodies before traveling.
These pups are fully KC registered, but pedigrees were not asked for when entering France via the Eurostarr.
One new puppy owner of mine was just waved though with the pup in the car, they did'nt even check all the paper work Surprised

Traveling out of the uk you wont get much problems with the dog, its when you re enter the UK you may hit a brick wall if all that is required by the UK is not met.

OK,reply from brittany ferries
"Dear Anna



Thank you for your email,



I have checked for you and Staffordshire bull terriers are ok, please find below the link for Defra which is the correct page you need for the information.



http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-pets/pets/dangerous/



Kind Regards

Sarah"
And from eurotunnel
"As far as the journey from Folkestone is concerned, we would advise you to liaise with the French Authorities (French Consulate for ex.) to get confirmation of any restriction that would apply.


As far as the journey from Calais is concerned, as long as your dog is accompanied by an acceptable documentation (i.e. a pet's passport as this seems to be the case here), we would do the control as per normal.

However, Kent Police may want to enforce the law where necessary when customers are driving through frontier.

For more information, please contact DEFRA on www.defra.gov.uk "
Nice,so no one knows nothing but expect it from you
I think I'm going to print all the replies and take them with me ,just need one from DEFRA,and I'm set

Someone asked about the regulations for non pedigree Staffies and why they would encounter problems.

It's because they could be classed as pitbulls. In France, the generic term "pitbull" can be applied under the following conditions:

http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do;jsessionid=66440731AC0EFCE71D8D9B030977ABEC.tpdjo14v_3?cidTexte=LEGITEXT000005627880&dateTexte=vig

I don't intend to translate it all, but here is a relevant except:

"Dogs group-labelled "pit-bulls" who belong to the 1st category (attack dogs) bear a strong resemblance to the following description:

- small dog of variable colour having a chest circumference of between 60cm (corresponding to a weight of around 18kg) and 80cm (corresponding to a weight of around 40kg). The height of the shoulder blades can go from 35 to 50cm."

French version:

"Les chiens communément appelés "pit-bulls" qui appartiennent à la 1re catégorie présentent une large ressemblance avec la description suivante :

- petit dogue de couleur variable ayant un périmètre thoracique mesurant environ entre 60 cm (ce qui correspond à un poids d'environ 18 kg) et 80 cm (ce qui correspond à un poids d'environ 40 kg). La hauteur au garrot peut aller de 35 à 50 cm"


Because this could be problematic, the bully breeds associations in France do not advise import or even adoption in France, of a non pedigree bully breed dog.
