Hi all, anyone any info on my doggie visiting spain? Planning a road trip through France to Spain to visit me relies. Got her pet passport in order but hear that pedigree Staffordshire bull terriers are not allowed? Tried to search all channels/embassy etc but get it all in Spanish!? Does anyone have a clue?Thanks in advance.

They are allowed but are classed as dangerous dogs here so have to be muzzled in public, kept on a non-extending lead etc.
Google "dangerous dogs in Spain" for more info in English.

It also depends on the area of Spain you are visiting, in some areas certain dogs are banned, in others just classed as dangerous dogs.

Royal Decree 287/2002 of March 22 regulates the requirements to own canine animals deemed to be potentially dangerous, developing the legislation established under Law 50/1999. This page is intended exclusively as a brief explanatory guide on the requirements necessary to own potentially dangerous dogs in Spain.
The Royal Decree classifies the following dogs as potentially dangerous:

a. Those belonging to one of the following breeds and their crosses:

* Pit Bull Terrier
* Staffordshire Bull Terrier
* American Staffordshire Terrier
* Rottweiler
* Dogo Argentino
* Fila Brasileiro
* Tosa Inu
* Akita Inu


When a potentially dangerous dog is in a public space, the owner or person responsible for the dog must carry the owner's license and the certificate of inscription of the dog in the Town or City Registry. In addition, the dog must wear at all times an appropriate muzzle, and must be restrained by a non-extensible leash or chain no longer than 2 meters (6,5 feet). At any given time, one person cannot lead more than one dog.

Potentially dangerous dogs located in an open, delimited space (land lot, porch, terrace, etc.) must be restrained by a chain or leash, unless the space is properly enclosed.

Finally, owners must report missing or stolen dogs to the Town or City Registry within 48 hours after the animal is determined missing.

Why don`t you just point them to the free beer thread instead of cutting and pasting the same info that has been in there for about 3 years, lol.
