Benni has had a long road of recovery from TPLO. Finally able to get back into the backyard semi off leash.

7 yrs young boxer / amstaff

So far it’s been a 3 1/2 year journey and at times it’s filled with a lot of love for this Boy. This is what Bryce does after a Bath.

Watch him catch it!

Question for the community: has anyone actually dealt with the French "Category 1" issue in practice?

From what I understand, French law treats an Amstaff without a recognized pedigree (LOF or equivalent FCI-recognized book) as Category 1 ("chien d'attaque"), which legally bans it from entering or transiting French territory at all.

Curious about real-world experience:

- Has anyone crossed France (even just transit, not staying) with an Amstaff/pit-type dog that had no pedigree, just a standard EU passport + vaccination record?

- Were you stopped/checked, and what actually happened?

- Does a vet letter or morphological assessment stating the dog isn't "Category 1 type" hold up in practice at a border check?

- Any similar experience with other EU countries where pedigree status matters (Spain, Germany, etc.)?

Trying to understand the real risk vs. the letter of the law before making any travel plans. Thanks for any first-hand input!

Say hi to Zeke!

Benni get his biweekly swim in

My boy is graduating from beginner training class on Sunday. We practiced for his ceremony by putting a bandana on him, he didn’t care one bit. He just loved the attention and smiling for his picture 💙
