Hello,

I am not in the UK but I have helped to arrange travel for friends' pets to UK and other rabies-free countries..

The problem is that the whole DEFRA PETS scheme process for bypassing quarantine takes about 7 months total including the blood titer waiting time of 6 months, and that is if the dog is able to have a rabies vaccination at the beginning of that 7 months.

Since typically dogs are not given the rabies vaccine until about 4 months old, that is another added 4 months. So from beginning to end you are looking at a dog just shy of its 1st birthday when you finally do receive it.

That is if you can find a breeder or an owner who will do the whole process for you and keep the dog for that length of time.

If you decide to import a dog without meeting the PETS scheme, you can apply for an import license and then the dog will be entered into a quarantine facility for 6 months once it reaches the UK, all of which you must pay for.

So in other words, importing a dog is lengthy and costly, but you may find it worthwhile anyway.
