That would be the job alright We had an English couple parked next to us down at Etang de Berre last year, they had a lovely staff with them ( Rescue Dog ) and never mentioned having any issue's or problem's....

whether pedigree or not

The piece I posted earlier was from an English travel company. I was unable to post the piece from the FRENCH MINISTRY FOR AGRICULTURE, FOOD, FISHERIES, RURAL POLICY, AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
This is the information from them.

I also contacted the French Embassy (they were as Helpfull as a horse's arse )

My French is not good enough to explain the problem to the people at --- agriculture.gouv.fr/animaux-de-compagnie)

Proposed Brexit deal if signed off for those from the North...... it's a BIG IF

From the Commission’s Q&A on Northern Ireland:
NI will remain aligned to a limited set of rules that are related to the EU's Single Market and indispensable for avoiding a hard border: legislation on goods, sanitary rules for veterinary controls (“SPS rules”)

Martin did you make any headway on this? I’ve researched it extensively before- polly is a pitty x staffy - and I drew the conclusion from all reading done that there was no way I was bringing her in - without issue (despite her having been through the british court system behavioral testing!). Albeit there may be a laxi-dazy check on the day and you’d get through but, it just wasn’t worth the risk for me. It’s a nonsense law... I’ve pencilled in my mind that European trips will be through the netherlands when we finally get around to one
