Helen plans to return to the UK this year. She hopes to bring with her, her pet Mozambique Running Dogs. There are two. She is thinking of bringing them in via Spain, so they can get used to the change in weather conditions here.
Has anyone any ideas how to do this? Her other half is a vet specialising in tropical diseases so the dogs are jabbed and clear of parasites etc.

How long would they be in Spain for Polly?
Depending on how long ......they could come from Spain on a Pet Passport. That includes the Canary Islands but not Ceuta or Melilla.

The thing is none of us have ever imported anything before so don't know how it works! I would not use imported flatcoats, (as American/Canadian ones have PRA and European ones have hereditary cataracts both eye problems are not in UK flatcoats), so the problem has never arisen. The only reason we were thinking of Spain as a "stop over" destination is that the dogs are short coated and the change in climate. We need to know how long they would have to stay in Spain, plus we need more information generally about importing.

polly give me a ring on 01252310267,aftre 8pm beacuse my spainsh water dogs dad came from spain last year,so i may be able to ask fay how it works for you.

The dogs would have to be resident in Spain to start the passport process. That is going to take a minimum of 7-8 months. I do not know what the Spanish requirements for entry into Spain from their country of origin would be. You need to check that out.

I have imported from Europe so if you need to chat about pet passport, feel free to ring me for a chat. If you should opt for quarantine, I can also help you in that direction. :-)
