My brother is in the process of applying for his Visa - they've got a Doberman and arent sure whether its a banned breed over here? I've not seen one since being here (well I dont think so) so I'm not sure?

Anyone know?

Cheers

Dobes arent banned.

http://www.dlg.nsw.gov.au/Files/Info.../dandogs11.pdf look at Page 2

Restricted dogs in NSW are the same as those currently on the prohibited
list of importations into Australia. However changes to the legislation
now include offspring of restricted dogs on that list, as follows:
(a) American Pitbull terrier or Pitbull Terrier
(b) Japanese tosa
(c) Dogo Argentino (Argentinean fighting dog)
(d) Fila Brasiliero (Brazilian fighting dog)
(e) Any dog declared by a council under Division 6 of the Act
to be a restricted dog##
(f) Any other dog of a breed kind, or description prescribed
by the Regulation for the purposes of this section
##This means any dog where the council is of the opinion that
a dog is of a breed or kind of dog on the restricted dog list or
a cross-breed of any such breed or kind of dog.

Yep, I remember that, certain dogs are banned by most airlines now (if not all) something to do with breathing ability on the aircraft isn't it. I think all sairlines have stopped carrying them.

However, you know they dont allow tail docking here !

Albeit his dog will be ok, but seeing a rotty or a dobe with a tail, is like seeing a jew with a cricked neck and a bar of soap and a flannel in the shower
