farlap 19 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 a friend of mine is thinking of getting a jack russell from someone he knows in the US but neither him or the breeder have any idea how to go about it so thought id ask on here for him. does anyone no how to go about it??? :thumbs: yes its very simple and there are several options. First you can have it flown over and put into quarantine here in the UK for 6 months, or secondly you can have it rabies vaccined in the USA, then one month later it needs to be blood teated to check the vaccine has taken and if it HAS taken, you must then wait 6 months from that date, and after 6 months the dog can enter the UK without going into quarantineunder the pet passport system. Depending on where in the USA it is there are certain times of the year that dogs cant be flown over due to extreme temperatures, and having done it myself a couple of times you have the choice of making the arrangements with the airline privately yourself (nerve wracking!) or getting an agent such as ryslip shipping (who I now use everytime) to make the arrangements for you and deal with all the paperwork. However the passport side of it (ie bloods etc) you will have to get sorted yourself as they dont do that part of it for you.( Message me if you want any help) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
