Thanks for that cooperlola - yes it does concur with Ian and is most helpful. My local country vet had told me it was ok to bring in the pup at 8 weeks old without the anti rabies injection. Just one more point, if the breeder gets the pup injected etc and a passport provided on say 3 months and 2 days, is that ok? ie is there any waiting time between injection, passport and travel once the dog is 3 months. Unfortunately the breeder was also unsure - never done it before- so I need to clarify things with her beforehand. Knowing my luck the litter will be all males and we won't want one afterall !!!
