Thread: What to breed to

I just had a look and it seems the UK has lost it's rabies free status.

rules changed yes.

earliest you can get a dog out now is 9 mths, and you would have to buy the pup and have it micro chipped and a rabies vacc's bang on 3 mths old.................... for an adult dog it is 3 months so long as it had it rabies and chip done at 3 mths and vet records of boosters...... being the uk not many breeders vacc for rabies so a 6 mth wait is more than likely.

add in board plus vet expenses any travel time and the costs can quickly add up.
i got a quote to move my new bitch up to the cumbrian grouse moors from 4 hours away and it was 440 pounds for example.

That would be because of all those foreigners moving in -they shoulda listen to Enoch Powell

well, actually, Enoch Powell would never have reckoned on the dog passport system through which dogs duly identified etc can pass the borders from the UK to the rest of Europe (and go home again)...hence the introduction of the rabies vaccination regime...fair enough too...
