Hi Lizzy

I won't bore you with details of the law (Ley 50/1999) but it includes cross breeds that look similar to the breeds specified.

It includes dogs that have all or most of the following: strong and powerful appearance; short hair; shoulder height between 50 and 70 cm and weight over 20 kilos; square and robust head with large jaws; wide and short neck; broad and deep chest; robust fore legs and muscular hind legs. 

If I saw a dog matching that description bounding towards me, I think I'd do a runner!

Hi we are buying a place in Quasada and we have a boxer dog please tell me she won't be on the dangerous dog list.

Boxers aren't named in the list I've got, but it would be up to a vet to consider a dog's physical characteristics and decide if it was 'Potencialmente Peligroso' under the law.

We are moving over this weekend and bringing our 11yr old Lab and our 4yr old Staffordshire Bull Terrier.  I have been told today that Staffs are classed as a "dangerous" dog in Spain.  Can anyone confirm or deny this and if it's true - what do I need to do? Thanks in advance. 

They are, but I have 2 and no problem, so long as their  registered ,your strength tested so you can control them ,have them on a lead all times your out side ,you won't have a problem and always carry their registration around when your out with them, it won't be a problem.
