Frequently Asked Questions
Are mixed breeds affected by breed bans?
Yes — many countries use visual and physical assessment, not just pedigree papers. A mixed breed that resembles a banned breed may still be refused entry or subject to restrictions.
What if my breed is not in the list?
If your breed is not listed as banned or restricted it is generally allowed at the national level. Always verify with the destination country directly, especially if the country has sub-national restrictions.
Can I get an exemption for a banned breed?
In most countries no. A small number of countries allow service or assistance dogs that would otherwise be banned breeds. Contact the destination authority directly for the most current information.
Do airline breed restrictions apply as well?
Yes — separately from country laws, airlines have their own breed restrictions, particularly for snub-nosed (brachycephalic) breeds in cargo. Check your specific airline as well as the destination country.
