Quote from your post: If you are shipping dogs or cats into Canada, make sure the person picking up the animal has NO ties to an animal related industry, or dog or cat site on the internet. They can not sell pet products, breed, board, train, photograph pets etc. If they do, and running your information through Google ties you to a pet related industry in
any way at all, they will label you commercial and deport the animal.

When I referred to "googling" --- I wasn't referring to your doing it.
I was referring to them doing it - and this is what I thought might be going to a little more trouble than anyone would be willing to do.
I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear. You mentioned that you weren't sure that your information was true - but did wonder about it and wanted to hear more about it. I just wanted to say that we (myself and some of my friends) have had few problems going in and out of Canada with pets - between Washington and Canada. Albeit, I have haven't done this in years, but I have heard of no recent problems here.
I only meant to share my own experiences -- and wondered (and even doubted) that officials would go to so much trouble to cause so much trouble for pet owners. I questioned that they would do this -- but perhaps they do....
Sorry - if my post was misunderstood.
