Is My Dog a Banned Breed in the UK? Breed Assessments for Owners Overseas

As a dog behaviourist and expert witness, I’m often asked by American and overseas owners, “Is my dog a banned breed under UK law?” The UK bans not only specific breeds but also dogs that look like banned types, so even crossbreeds can be refused entry based on appearance, not pedigree or DNA. I offer informal breed assessments using photos and key measurements, helping you make informed decisions and avoid the stress and legal risks of bringing your dog to the UK without clarity.
