American Staff transport Paris: finding a pet chauffeur who accepts category 1 dogs

American Staff in Paris: the transport problem


If you own an American Staffordshire Terrier, you've probably experienced this frustrating situation: you call a taxi or VTC service, and as soon as you mention your dog's breed, they refuse. Yet your American Staff might be the most affectionate dog you know.


Why taxis and VTCs refuse American Staffs


The American Staffordshire Terrier is classified as category 1 under French law of 6 January 1999. This morphology-based classification (not behavioural) has created significant stigma around the breed. Most taxi or VTC drivers refuse by default.


Our service: we accept your American Staff
