Hey all,

I'm Chris, a new member and potential expat

I hear it's a lengthy and difficult process to import pets, but are there any restrictions on dog breeds? I know many countries have bans on 'bully' breeds like pit bulls, rottweilers, etc. and it would be a real shame if I couldn't bring my puppy with me.

FYI, I have a Doberman Pinscher.

did some rummaging and all I can find seems to indicate you can if it's not an un-neutered male. They list here:

脫heimilt er a冒 flytja inn s忙冒i hunda af eftirfarandi tegundum og blendinga af 镁eim:

Pit Bull Terrier/Staffordshire
Bull Terrier
Fila Brasileiro
Toso Inu
Dogo Argentino

Blendinga af 煤lfum og hundum

This basically says it's banned to bring in the listed dogs that are "semen dogs"

I can't find anywhere else that it's banned to bring these dogs in if they are female or neutered.

as for the process, it is long. Here it is:
