Can anyone help me as to wether I can take my Bull Mastiff with us on holiday to France...I am aware of him being treated before we re-enter the UK within 24-48 hours for ticks & worms.

He has his Pets Passport, is booked with us and caravan on Eurotunnel depart Folkestone Sunday 10th August for Bordeux region in France.

Today I am told that a Mastiff cannot enter into France as it comes under the Dangerous Dogs act.

I have tried the French embassy simply put on hold for 45 Minutes..Eurotunnel tell me he`s OK to travel..Defra cant help..web sites contradict.
If anyone knows for certain please let me know..thanks for reading.

sorry but i havent got a clue...could you not check on the web to see what are dangerous dogs in france? i hope you get your answer soon.

.......... I HATE TWO FACED PEOPLE...ITS SO HARD TO KNOW WHICH FACE TO SLAP FIRST!

I would have thought the caravan park where you have booked would have asked you the breed of dog, and informed you if it was on the banned list, I have heard they are pretty hot on the subject on the continent, if they didn't, ring them back and check.

I am amazed that my vet didnt bother to ask also..2 rabies jabs and blood tests..(Failed 1st one)
Its all quite amazing
Our site simply says dogs welcome no distinction mentioned and he is booked..I will endeavour to contact tomorrow.

Something similar happened to a friend of mine, when the pet passport first came out he got it all sorted had all the jabs done, then found out caravan sites wouldn't accept his staff X boxer cross, he stays in britain now.
Good luck, hope it works out ok for you.

The problem I am having though is trying to ascertain wether he can go into France..If neccesary we will simply go further and forfeit our French holiday and go into Spain..The worrying thing is, if Mastiffs are banned from France we can therefor not travel through France into Spain!
