Since we lost our last dog, who we took all over France. We have perhaps foolishly rescued a 'Staffie'. I say foolishly because we originally only tried motorhoming to be able to take our dog with us. Loved it obviousley.
Earlier this year we took her to the vet to begin the 'pet passport' procedure. His reaction was that we would be wasting our money as Staffies are not allowed in France. So we went to France without her. Definately not as much fun. Not for us and not for her.
After our return I have been scouring the interweb and I may have some contradictory answers.
(a) Staffies are not on the French Cat.1 or Cat.2 list. So no problems, pet passport here we come.
(b) Only KC registered Staffies are not on the list (so without papers - does anyone know?).
(c) Staffies are not allowed and will be shot on sight.
I am of the view that Staffies are allowed because they are not on the list. Although some campsites are unsure and will refused you access. No matter to us we rarely use sites, and when we do it is early and late in the season when they are pleased of any business they can get. Dare I risk it?
Has anyone got any experience of this?
Any help would be gratefully recieved.
