Chow Chows

This is the email I got today from DEFRA. I wrote them just to be on the safe side.

Good Afternoon,

At the moment there are four breeds of dog banned in the UK

· the Pit Bull Terrier

· the Japanese tosa

· the Dogo Argentino

· the Fila Brasileiro

I would advise that you look at photographs of these breeds and if you think that your dog bears a close resemblance to or could be mistaken for one of these breeds then you should consider what the consequences of bringing your dog to the UK could be. I have enclosed a link for you to get further information on this.

Good to get the reassurance
