Hi all,

We are planning on moving to Lanzerote in September. My query is that I have an English Bulldog. He is a very mild natured dog but looks aggressive and I read somewhere about dogs looking a certain way ie bull mastiff s a certain build weight etc may be excluded from entry? Are dogs assessed individually or stereotyped? We would love to bring him with us as he is part of the family and a lovely temperament ? Can anyone advise please...

go see your vet s/he will know. Basically if you can get a pet passport - which takes about 6 months - then you can take woofy anywhere in the EU

Thank you HungryBear, for your reply, appreciated. I may be reading into ins too much....

I had read up on the Passport side of things which is all pretty straight forward, I then came across a classification for dangerous dogs! Based on shape size and weight and as my dog fits that criteria ( although is the soppiest friendliest dog) I didn't want to pay 250 ps to find out we still couldn't bring him. I will check with Defra first...and hopefully we can bring him with us if possible. I also need to check if he'd be ok as Bulldogs are not too good with the heat.. Would have to walk him early and late in the day... thanks again, Jan
