Dublin came from Marie and had kennel cough when we got him. At the time I thought that it was probably from his trip over here since Marie went on and on about how strict the breeding programs were in IRE. She said they were much more careful there and that was why thery didn't have rabies and the pups didn't have to be quarantined when coming into the States.

I don't know about the regulations from Ireland, but when dogs come from Germany they do not need to be quarantined either. They only need rabies if shipped after 12 weeks of age (all of mine were!!!). Maybe this "broker" was getting them before 12 weeks of age?? I would think that customs would be interested to know that she is importing for resell, as I think the rules are a bit different if the dog is not for your own breeding program or your own pet.
