i read on internet some different informations about travelling with pit bull, so i didn't understand if it is permitted to bring with me or not
then, rocky suffered for leishmania in 2008, but we did a treatment with milteforan and since that in recent blood analysis we found he has no more
can it be a problem?
i hope you can say me something more

This might help.

Unfortunately they wouldn't be allowed (if they are Pit Bull Type, these are banned in the UK) but they do look like Staffy Crosses to me which are perfectly legal here.

Pit Bull type dogs are illegal in the UK but the definition of Pit Bull type seems very unclear and I have absolutely no idea if it would cover your dogs. But if I were you I wouldn't risk it.

I'm sure someone with more useful info will reply soon.

thank you for the answers
yes, i read pitbull are banned. they are registered as amstaff x boxer, but i read that dogs can be destroyed if they are supposed to be dangerous, and i absolutely don't want to risk!
is enough chip registration as prove to get in uk? or they decide according to what they appear?

If they are registered as Am Staffs x Boxers they wouldn't be allowed entry (Am Staff is the show type version of the Pit Bull).

but amstaff is not banned, is it?

Unfortunately they are..

Where it says...

Which would also apply to Am Staffs.
