shushycatcher 219 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Relaxation of quarantine laws. What are peoples views? As of 1st jan, quarantine will only be 3 weeks and only need a vaccination against rabies and that's it. I think the Saluki lovers will like as they can now bring in Saluki's from abroad without a 6 month quarantine.I personally think its too short but would you risk an import with only being 3 weeks in quarantine? 1 Quote Link to post

Saluqihounds 150 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I certainly welcome the change 10 months is a long wait, you couldn't bring a pup in any younger than that with the old system meaning you missed out on the rearing. It is still longer than a 3 week wait, if it's a pup the pup has to be 12 week before the rabies jab can be given then its a week or 2 before a titer test can be done to check for active rabies antibodies after the jab then it is a 3 week wait. Personally I do not believe there to any more risk, than th current risk from bat which already carry rabies in the UK. 1 Quote Link to post

What is needed now is more animal receiving centres so I don't have to drive 1000miles to Heathrow again. Quote Link to post

Saluqihounds 150 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 How much would it cost to import a saluki? Thats like asking how long is a piece of string. There are too many variables, I would doubt you could do it for less than £2000 at the cheapest and that would be with someone gifting the dog and boarding it without charge, it is a lot of work for the exporter.

The plan was to get a couple of hours sleep at Heathrow while waiting for the paperwork to clear but I was too worried about something going wrong, if the slightest detail was wrong on the paperwork it could have meant 6 months quarantine or sending her back to the US again to start all over again. All in all I had been awake for 36hrs, I'd do it again for my next one. Quote Link to post
