Shipped from Brazil?
 

Has anyone gotten a dog/puppy from Brazil recently (last few months to a year)? Can you share the steps you had to go through? What would I have to do? Would it be the same as if regular shipped from place in the US?


Why I asked? I was offered a beautiful puppy from Brazil (4 months) but don't have any Idea about the airlines/flying (since my flight plans were always done by someone else). And I know that there are many pretty pups in the US, but I'm just asking!

I don't know, but a few weeks ago I met a girl who had a Yorkie she got from Brazil and it was STUNNING!! Good luck.

The breeder that is offering her puppies have gorgeous dogs... A couple of Yters have gotten a baby from her but not recently. I think there may be some changes at the airlines and is trying to find out. If everything goes fine then I will try to get one of those babies. She has an unbelievable price (including shipping).

go to www.freewebs.com/yorkiekiss and ask her (Deanna). she shipped yorkies in the last year from her mentor in brazil. good luck!!!

Maybe if you mention the breeder people will be able to help you better. :confused:

Dina got Pia from Brazil I think. Pia is one of the prettiest babies I have ever seen. Maybe Dina can give you some info! Good luck!

I know.. same breeder. Pia is on there with Dina, too.

Hi, I'm pm'ing you because I should not be on any site with Pia. :confused: I did have an issue with a few stealing pictures, so please go read my pm. :)

i'll pm you.. it might not be you.. but it says Dina and Pia...SORRY if I'm wrong!!!

those Brazilian gals are beautiful but the registration over to AKC can take months and months.

I know and it cost about $100... But still it would be worth it at the end. What's a few months at the end?


AND... to clear things up... The breeder may not be the same as Dina's!!!! (i have now been informed)

Hi, glad I was able to help and get the mix up corrected. When I picked Pia up at the airport there were a few things differen't I had to go through. I'm not sure if each airport has differen't rules but I had to go to a differen't place to pick up Pia since she was from another country. This place only deals with international things. Basically they had to double check shot records and a few other things to make sure everything was correct. When getting an animal from another contry differen't vaccines are needed. They look over things in much more detail when compared to picking up a baby that was shipped right here in the United States. If they find the slightest thing wrong they will hold the animal. I urge anyone thinking of getting an animal from another country to call and make sure each detail is gone over clearly. The last thing you want is to have a baby sent back or held some place. Good Luck to anyone thinking of doing this. ;)

Check with Orbitz and PriceLine.com to see if you can get an idea of what the price may be. If you know which airline you want to use call them, because sometimes they'll give you a good deal.

Thanks everyone for your input!!! Does anyone know a fellow YTer that has received a puppy from another country the last year?

aww..Pia has to be one of the prettiest girls. I wish i can have one more..I love them!! i am having so much fun with Tumi and Gracie..that makes me wanna have one more!

buyer beware.
 

If you buying a brazilian yorkie, make sure you buy directly from the breeder in brazil...DO NOT GO THROUGH IMPORTERS...

Rabies
 

I've been looking into buying a Yorkie in Mexico and then taking it home with me to the United States. So I've been looking at the requirements. One that I noticed is that the rabies vaccine has to be done at lest 30 days before shipping the puppy into the United States if it comes from an area that has rabies. If the puppy is under 3 months, then that rule does not apply. From Mexico, you need a letter from the vet stating the baby is in good health and the vaccination records showing that they are up to date. It might be similar to what is necessary from Brazil, but I'm not sure about that. :D
So these Brazilian Yorkies....can anyone tell me more about them? I saw some advertised as Brazilian Yorkies. Is there a difference or something? I thought a Yorkie was a Yorkie, no matter what country they come from. :D

love me cody, pm me, i tried but cannot pm you...

HI NAJA!!! (in regards to BRASILIAN YORKIES)

Thank you for emailing me personally and asking about my beautiful BRASILIAN YORKIES and by the sounds of it you would like some help/advice.

I am a small YORKSHIRE TERRIER hobby breeder (I am OWNED by 6 yorkies; 3 that are from my mentor in BRASIL). I reside in CANADA and from time to time i do import some beautiful brasilian beauties (YORKIES) from my mentor/co-breeder whos in BRASIL. WHY? well because im Brasilian, was born and raised there so thats how i have direct connection and when i started breeding YORKIES i also begin importing my mentors BRASIL YORKIES just to give her a helping hand and also because im only a small hobby breeder the DEMAND is much bigger than i can supply so thats another reason i started selling her babies here in CANADA :) and so far i have been very successful!

While im on this topic i would like to make a very important point im in NO way a broker or mill (I know some people willl argue). Myself and my mentor in BRASIL have made this so successful because we place our friendship and puppies 1st before business/$. In fact i don't keep any of the $ i make in selling her babies, not because i can't, because i CAN; i just chose not to. But i do have an option and advantage to select any pup of my choice for myself...which is always tempting BUT i want to remain a small breeder at this point in my life.

When i sell my mentors YORKIES that are from BRASIL the puppies come to me with AIR CANDA very safe and sound. Even if a puppy is pre-sold i require that this puppy stays with me for at least a week or 2 to make sure he/she is healthy and its ready to join his/her new family. I treat her babys with the love and care that they deserve. I love them just as much and if not more than my own LOL! Her babies are so stunning and have the best personaility that its always so difficult for me to part with them no matter how short of a time or how long they stayed with me.

When my puppy parents by one of my mentors BRASILIAN yorkies they receive the same treatment, contract and lifelong support from me as they would if they bought one of my very own yorkies. I LOVE THEM ALL and each and everyone of them.

Anyhoo sorry about the huge speech; i just want others who read this to understand where I personally am comming from when they hear i own and import BRASILIAN yorkies!

Do you reside in USA?
Just to make it clear someone above stated that its difficult and takes MONTHS to transfer a BRASILIAN CBKC pedigree to AKC. Im sorry but from my own experience that is NOT true. Although i reside in CANADA all 3 of my BRASIL yorkies are AKC reg'd also and it was a peice of cake. Its very very EASY! You simply have to fill the AKC transfer application and send it in with the official CBCK BRASIL pedigree. I had my AKC pedigree in one months time. I can't stress it enought its very fast and easy if you follow the correct ssteps. Although if you bought the BRASIL yorkie as a PET only the breeder will provide you its CBCK limited reg'd pedigree and with that you CANNOT use to transfer the reg'd to AKC or CKC (Canada). The BRASIL CBKC full reg'd pedigree is ONE document only which together makes it the PEDIGREE and the CERTIFICATE OF REG'D...not like in USA or CANADA where its 2 seperate document.

The law in BRASIL that a pup cannot leave its country untill its 3+ months of age. But of COURSE if you really know BRASIL lol laws are NOT tightly inforced. The puppy just has to be up to date on its shots for his/her particular age. In Canada if a puppy is under 8 months of age or so it does NOT need to enter the counrty with the rabies. I don't know the the rules are in USA but i do know my mentor imports her pups to the USA and they don't need their rabies if under a certain age (probably similar to Canada).

Someone above mentioned a YORKIE is a YORKIE- very true! But asked the difference between the BRASIL yorkies. I believe and know from my own experience is that BRASILIAN yorkies tend to have a much THICKER coat which is often called a COTTON/SILKY coat. The coat also grows alot faster and fuller and does NOT break as easly. Their colorings are often darker and richer...blacks and golds are very popular. Brasilian yorkies tend to be shorter and stocker and have more of a TEDDY BEAR face because of the full hair.
I find that their ears take a bit more work and time for them to stand because cartilage is thicker.

Anyhoo ANJA either here or you can email me personally once again; if you can provide me the name (kennel name? website? breeder name?) whatever you decide of this BRASIL breeder you are referring to. Maybe i can help you to make sure you are in good hands with this person. Also my mentor in BRASIL co-breeders with quite a few breeders in BRASIl and this world is alot. All i am trying to say is that i would be MORE than happy to give you a helping hand in regards to the BRASIL breeder you are currently in touch with. Im assuming he/she speaks ENGLISH a lil?

OK hope that helps! Feel free to get back to me!

DANI23D...

HI! Sorry i didn't catch you name. Anyhooo i c you are also from CANADA! yah!
I was just wondering (and if you don't want to give an answer to my Q thats ok!)...where abouts in CANADA are you?
It seems that you know me (because you posted my website and name for ANJA to contact me) yet im not sure who you are.
Have you contacted me about my yorkies before?
Do you have a personaly website?
Do you breed?
How many furbabes do you own?

Sorry for all the questions im just very curious! Hope to get to know you.
Have a great day!

aww..your babies are beautiful! i just got my second baby Gracie! but after seeing yours, i want more!! i think my next will be the brasillian baby. I think i can handel 3.lol

Hi Deana (sorry I can't seem to message you on here?),

I live in Edmonton as well. And yes, I contacted you back in September, but I have been contacting other breeders in the meantime ('cause I know your little Menina hasn't gone into heat yet). So I am still taking my time, looking around. But I still don't have my yorkie yet! I definitely wanted to mention you on this thread because you were really nice to me when we spoke over the phone and I believe you do take really good care of your little furbabies =)

Anyway, if I don't get my own little yorkie this Christmas (that's my goal), I will definitely contact you!

Lotsa hugs,
Danielle

Thanks everyone for your help!!! So it's basically the same as recieveing a pup from a fellow state but you have to pick him/her up at a different location in the airport and there is more caution

I emailed you one time also. You were verrrry very helpful and nice. I am going to send you an email in a few cause i forgot to respond to the last email you sent me. :) Nice to see you're on this site!

Be Careful!
 

Be careful,it takes a long time to get papers and in some cases not at all!

It is not as easy as picking up at the airport from another state. Customs is involved and it is not always clear--if the paperwork is just a little off, you may not get the puppy.
