what an excellent idea to have a printed information card in a few languages explaining the breed. it is also a great idea to have a printed sheet in your wallet or bag with the dog's info and insurance details on along with a request that in case of an accident, your treasured pet should get immediate veterinary care. if the authorities know all bills will be covered they are going to be extra careful looking after themStaffies are rare in France so many people think they are Pit Bulls, even the Gendarmes. I produced the following in English and got Google to translate. I have copies on me at all times, any problems I just pass the paper, Gendarme reads, smiles and strokes Alfie. Better than trying to explain.
Mon nom est ALFIE, je suis un Anglais Staffordshire Bull Terrier. (Staffy)
Nous ne sommes pas une race interdite en Angleterre ou en France et qui ne figurent pas dangereux
Je n'ai aucun lien PITBULLS même si je regarde similaire.
Nous aimons la compagnie des humains en particulier les enfants.
S'il vous plaît me caresser.
He is a good traveller, doesn't bark OR BITE! dries quickly, sits on passenger seat which wards off undesirables when we are not there, never complains, never chewed furniture, the perfect dog, FOR US OF COURSE !
