Question for Breeders - Shipping? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I expect you will guess why I'm asking

I am also asking so that I will not waste any of your valuable time.
Many of you have websites that say "shipping available" or words to that effect. Should I assume that means inter-state shipping only? Or does it also mean international shipping? O..R....Do you specifically state international shipping if you are offering it?
Many thanks

I personally don't like shipping pets and will gladly make other arrangements, including flying with them myself. Many times this can be close to the same price as shipping if you shop around and don't mind odd hours of travel.
I believe there are quarantine restrictions involved with shipping/bringing animals into the UK.

yes i think its like 6 months

Thank you both.
I looked into our quarantine arrangements before posting, because the last thing I would want would be for a Yorkie pup (or adult for that matter) to have to go into quarantine.

Guess what? the UK Government (or a tiny department of it) has caught up

. There is a Pet Passport Scheme which, until I looked closely into it, I thought it was only for animal travel between European Union countries. But there is now quite an extensive list of countries that are included. The USA being one. The scheme allows for non-quarantine transfers subject to certain Vet checks and certification (probably part of the US routine in animal care, anyway).

You may want to contact your local airport - air cargo department and speak with a broker. For a fee they can handle all the paperwork involved in the transportation from one country to another. I hope this helps.

Thank you topknot.

I've talked to Continental Airlines who seem very switched-on to pet travel and have recently opened a "state of the art pet kennel" at Huston. They have all the admin in place to shuffle the papers around. And at London, Heathrow things should go smoothly as I will collect the little bundle of joy. I live about 30 minutes away by road.

Unfortunately, none of that means anything if US breeders do not ship internationally.

Lorrie...I just love London and have a valid passport

Lorrie · 06-15-2006, 01:54 AM

and... you'd be welcome to stay at my home anytime you come over - for whatever reason

Not in central London, or course, but Greenwich, 10 minutes away from the centre - panoramic views of the city, surrounded by public parks and open heathland as well as a big-ish enclosed garden at my place that actually backs onto a park. I'm beginning to sound like an estate agent (realtor)

Hey! everyone's welcome. You may have to go on a waiting list though, 'cos I only have a modest London residence [1]. On the other hand, you may prefer one of my country cottages [2].

But you'd better be quick. I'm thinking of down-sizing and getting myself a council owned terraced house in an area where the people are soooo friendly and often pop around with a pressie or to ask for a cup of sugar to go with their sweet course [3]

sylvan · 06-15-2006, 08:07 AM

any of the above will suit me just fine. We stayed near Notting Hill last spring and I just loved walking around town. Lots of great food and very friendly people.....and dogs!

Notting Hill is great too. Did you meet Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant and friends?

The awesome Harrison Ford walked past my office window a few years ago. I did a double-take but by the time I realised it really was Indie (my hero

) and rushed outside, he had disappeared in typical Indie fashion. He was staying in the area while making Patriot Games but I never saw him again. What a bummer ...

sylvan · 06-15-2006, 08:35 AM

didn't see anybody famous..but took a pic of a bright green door that I loved (okay.I know it's wierd) and had tea at the Orangery at Kensington Palace.

Harrison would've been cool...

But you're a dog lover - weird is mandatory

I used to know Cary Grant's (final) wife - old school friend - and we were planning a foursome meet up in London, but the most beautiful man on the planet passed away just before they were due to come over.

I'm *quite" taken with Sean Connery, Martin Sheen and any of the Baldwin brothers. Weird (see what I mean?) how yet another thread goes Off Topic into a much more interesting discussion.

Edit: just seen pic. No 50 eh? know it well!!!!!!
