jigsaw 11,891 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I had intentions of importing a pup over the summer of saluki and greyhound of equal proportions for the future.I was chatting to a greyhound trainer and he told me the law now is,if a pup is to come over on the boat with a greyhound transporter the pup now has t have,1..a pet passport..2..anti rabies jab..3..needs to be chipped..and 4 has to be checked by a vet 3 days before it travels across.If this is correct,and I take it coming from this man it is,it certainly puts a damper on my plans,He reckons it will be around 300-400 euro before I even buy the pup.You know if this is true?Im saddened to hear this.I have in the past imported a saluki x pup but had to rehome it,and had none of this extra work then so could any of you folks enlighten me? I will have to look around this side of the world it seems for what I want. Quote Link to post

krawnden 1,036 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Jigsaw are you talking about getting a pup from England, Scotland or Wales? Or do you mean bring in from somewhere like mainland Europe, America etc? Quote Link to post
jigsaw 11,891 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 some part of britain i was thinking about,krawden,I wont be in a position to drive over and back so was thinking a greyhound van might be the next best thing.I'll look into the other options,had a very kind offer from some lad on here,so see where that takes me. 1 Quote Link to post
Fat-Ferret 857 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I was looking into doing the same the last few days Jigsaw....It seems since 29th Dec 2014 - A pup coming with the transporter into North or South needs all that nonsense....It would cost the same to drive over and pick it up yourself and hide it in the glove box!

jigsaw 11,891 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 thats just too much expense and hassle for me,FF.I wont be going across the water any time soon.I'll have to look into getting it back in a car possibly by some kind soul or maybe get one on this side,but finding top class parents at their job is a bit of a mountain over here.
