Why are some dog breeds prohibited from being bred?
Some countries have stricter laws regarding the keeping of certain pets. This is because some rulers consider that aggressive dog breeds are not suitable for living in society. Another issue is that some countries are against the genetic improvement that takes place to create some breeds of dogs. So, to avoid this practice, they prohibit such breeds from being bred and marketed in the country.
Prohibited dog breeds
See below some dog breeds that are not well regarded around the world:
- Tosa Inu, banned in 18 countries;
- Pitbull, banned in 24 countries;
- Chow chow, restricted in Bermuda;
- Brazilian queue, banned in the UK and Australia;
- Boerboel, banned in Denmark;
- Argentine Dogo, banned in Portugal, Australia and New Zealand;
- Rottweiler, banned in Israel and Qatar;
- Cane corso, banned in Bermuda;
- Cavalier King Charles spaniel, banned in Norway.
This list includes animals of varying aggressiveness and size, which makes it clear that there are different reasons for banning each one. In some cases, such as immigration, countries allow the entry of these animals in the company of the owner, sometimes with certain restrictions.
Thus, certain places request that the owners guarantee that the animal is sterile and that it will not reproduce in the country. With this, they intend to prevent the breed from gaining popularity and being reproduced in large quantities. In any case, it is necessary to assess the country's willingness to receive a certain breed of dog and ensure that the animal lives in a healthy way.
