Are pitbull illegal in belguim

Answer 1

France has the best law about pitbulls. As long as you have papers that state it is a pure breed pitbull, the dog is allowed. Any other dog that resembles a mix with a pitbull and other dog, is to be destroyed.

Answer 2

The law in Belgium states:

Potentially Dangerous Dogs

There is currently little legislation concerning potentially dangerous dogs in Belgium, but following a number of attacks there are moves to outlaw some fighting breeds and guard dogs such as the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Mastiff and Tosa, but this has not yet passed into law.

There are a number of breeds that may not be allowed into the country; Pit Bulls are typically forbidden entry, for example. Owners of certain breeds of dog will have to provide evidence that the dog does not present a danger to the public. Dogs that have previously had any kind of warning or action taken against them or their owner for dangerous or aggressive behaviour will normally be refused entry.

Owners of dogs which could be classed as dangerous are expected to keep them on a lead at all times in public and muzzled if necessary. In the event of an incident legal action may be taken against the owner of a dog. All dogs have to be registered so owners are traceable.
