Just one that the cross breeders in the UK have come up with

Also the compulsary (spelling?) quarantine on entry to Australia is harsh on a young pup/dog that has just travelled possibly half way around the world. They must be sealed into their crate in the country of origin (where they must have lived for a min 6 months) and then are only allowed out to enter into quarantine. I understand the need for precautions against rabies, but surely if a dog has been x weeks after a positive titre, the quarantine could be relaxed a little?

I know, I think the quarantine should be 2 weeks at most. I mean the quarantines here aren't bad, they have a large enclosure to run around in, but no I agree, after a long trip going to a strange place like a quarantine kennel where there are a whole bunch of other dogs there can be quite daunting.

Isn't there a regulation (like the one that puts the rules to go to UK and Ireland) that allows the puppy to have a blood sample taken a month after the vaccinations to get the anticorps titles and then 6 months later it can be brought without any quarantine?

The fisrt dogs would be very difficult to be brought there, I realise indeed, but it still would be better than the compulsory (that's the spelling Shadowlands

) quarantine!

Thanks for the spell check, Enid - things have been a little stressful here and my internal one has packed up

Unfortunately, the official Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service states "No additional documentation, vaccinations or testing can be completed to reduce or avoid the Australian quarantine period." The minimum period in quarantine is 30 days, irrespective of whether the titre test was done more than 180 days previously - if it was only 60 days previously, the animal must remain in quarantine for 120 days

. (The regulations state that 180 days must elapse from the date of the titre test before an animal can be released from quarantine, but then goes on to say that it must be there for at least 30 days)

On top of what is likely to be a very long journey, this is quite harsh for any animal, least of all a young puppy

Ugh... I just know that I would need to be in quarantine myself with the dog, I would never leave the dog alone
