Hi for many years travelled back and forward to the Uk with my German Shepherd used both Brittany ferries and used the kennels for them not the cabins. I also use euro tunnel which I found easier and more relaxing.
Just make sure you check all the new dog laws in both Uk and especially Spain I have attached a link to an article which you may like to check regarding breeds
Banned breeds in Spain
Our dogs are our constant companions; they are our four-legged family members. They travel with us wherever we go and are an important part of our lives. When it comes to international pet travel, however, all dog breeds are not the same. Some countries around the world have banned or restricted the entry of large and dangerous dog breeds. This breed-specific legislation is in place to protect people and other animals from dog bites and attacks.
If you are planning to travel to another country with your pet dog, it is important to check the list of banned breeds before you start your travel plans. If you are travelling to Spain with your dog, here’s what you should know about banned and restricted breeds in Spain.
Restricted dog breeds in Spain
Spain does not have breed-specific bans, and all dog breeds are welcome in the country. However, there are restrictions on strong and aggressive dog breeds such as the Staffordshire Terrier, Pit Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentino, Akita Inu, Tosa Inu, Rottweiler, Fila Brasiliero and other powerful dog breeds. The list of restricted breeds is not limited to these breeds; it covers all dogs that are aggressive by nature, irrespective of the breed.
Dogs of these breeds and their crosses are considered potentially dangerous and owning such a dog in Spain comes with additional rules and responsibilities.
