YT 2000 Club Donating Member | New CKC regulations for travelling with your dog to the States Much of what we have focussed on is puppies being brought into the States from Canada and all other countries that are NOT Rabies free. But All dogs of Any Age, need according to their website a Valid Rabies Certificate that details out the date of the last shot, the serial number, the vets signature etc etc. No-where that I have found that Rabies Titers are accepted as proof of immunization against Rabies. This is of concern for all of us that have the option to titer, to see if immunity exists, rather than give an un-necessary shot. I could not even find the much vaunted Export Rabies Titer, which is btw in Canada $500 The normal titer for rabies is $269+ Wonderfull ain't it. Give a $20 rabies shot that may or may not be needed against spending $260+ on titering to see if your dog has immunity to Rabies. And yes there can be a medical exemption, but more forms need to be filled out and it is unclear, that a senior dog, should be exempted for a current Rabies vaccination as his titers clearly show immunity to Rabies. Trust me, until I get this cleared up, my family will not be travelling to the States. And I will certainly not give un-necessary vaccinations if the dog is immunized against the disease.

| I am not sure how this could be a new regulation since all states in the continental US require it. Not all have a clear medical exemption either. Titers are never acceptable here. If bringing a dog across the border I would hope it is vaccinated or has a medical exemption or the owner and the dog are going to have a very hard time here should any concern arise.

| Our state also doesn't permit waivers or titers.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Isn't this what The Rabies Challenge Fund is all about? The Rabies Challenge Fund is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization studying the duration of immunity conveyed by rabies vaccines. For more information.

| These are not regulations of the Canadian Kennel Club it is the US that has brought in new requirements as to the age of the puppy to have to have rabies vaccinations. I can't remember if it used to be I think 4 mos, now it is I believe 3 months even younger perhaps, I would have to go look it up. The CKC merely put the information about the US regulations put into effect by the US on their website so anyone sending or bringing a puppy into the USA is aware of new requirements whereas before the puppy could be older and it was ok not to have rabies done yet. |

| I was partly right about vaccination for rabies and age but if you want the real whole story it is on the CKC website and no you do not have to be a member to access it so I have including the link for the article the CKC has kindly and helpfully put on their site to help breeders.
