To me, it still isn't clear that these are FRENCH rules versus Air France rules. The line is, "Rottweilers may now be imported loaded in a rigid plastic container, wearing a muzzle and conforming to Air France rules;"
If it was such that my dog had to be muzzled to fly into France, I would fly into the closest country that did not require the muzzle and drive the rest of the way in.
You may have an out on your ticket if the muzzle rule is not on their website and they took your dog's reservation without advising you of the restriction.
Anything that restricts your dog's breathing is a major hazard when flying and I ABSOLUTELY, under no circumstances whatsoever would do this.
