  • comrade, please only do this if you absolutely have to. the UK has completely eliminated rabies, so the government is extremely uptight about importing dogs. if your animal ends up in quarantine, it will be kept there for 4 months. they are legally allowed to put your animals down. the fact that they’re pitbulls is not the main problem (although yes that is also likely to be a problem), it’s bringing a dog into the country at all.

    this is the government website on it. technically there are rules you can follow if they’ve had all their immunisations etc, but personally i wouldn’t trust the gov with my dogs if i had anyway to avoid it.

    EDIT: actually, now i notice that you cannot bring banned dog breeds into the country at all, and pit bulls are among them. you can apparently get an exemption, but i have no idea how long that would take or how reliable it would be.
