Are American Bullies banned in Germany?

The banned list does state that any mix of the banned dogs are also banned but since American Bullys are officially a desperate breed I'm hoping my Bully can go.

the S/G-1 can or should be able to get you the information or go to Post Transition office... Make sure you animal has all the shots and the On Post veterinarian can or should get the documentation ready for you...
when all else fails contact the unit you are going to and ask them If they have the contact Points...

you can buy a DNA test for your dog for under 100 bucks, that'll clear it if it's not a banned breed.

I literally just PCSd to Germany and this is coming directly off my orders.

Sorry if I misspelled anything but that is coming directly from my order verbatim.

I hope he can, SGt.! I think if you go and show proper documentation that explains the difference, they 'might' let him in. Do it far enough before so you can arrange a sitter (preferably a relative that knows your bully personally as a friend. That way it will be comfortabl with them.

I wasn't paying attention to the caption with the pic at first and thought it was about bullies that pick on s'one. I'm glad I read the question before commenting.

I believe American bullies are tied with Rottweiler's for the second most deadly dogs for fatal human attacks.
I get that they are not pitbulls and human interactions can play a part indog aggression problems.
I have a black lab who is totally non-aggressive but his banned in a lot of places by size limits.
By the standards that were listed you'd think all the ankle biters would be banned!
Most fatal attacks and serious injury attacks involving labs are pitbull mixes. I know people that have them and swear they are great dogs and same with pure pitbulls and American bullies.
I think rather than banning by breed owners and individual dogs should be tested.
I had a chow/border collie that was a great dog who only be aggressive when being aggressed towards.
