Under New Zealand's strict biosecurity and Dog Control Act provisions, the importation and ownership of specific aggressive or fighting dog breeds are completely prohibited. Banned breeds include the American Pit Bull Terrier, Brazilian Fila, Dogo Argentino, Japanese Tosa, and Perro de Presa Canario. Bringing any of these restricted breeds or their identifiable crossbreeds into the country is illegal, and any attempt to import them will result in immediate seizure and exportation or humane euthanasia by border control authorities.
