Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to own a banned breed to join?

No. Membership is open to any member of the public. We particularly support owners of dogs on the banned breeds list, but any dog owner seeking guidance, protection, and documentation support is welcome to join.

What counts as a banned breed?

In England and Wales, the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 prohibits four types: Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Brasileiro. Dogs that match characteristics of these types may also be affected. NCSF can provide guidance specific to your situation.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards through our secure Stripe payment processor.
