Importing a pup to the UK

Have to agree with that. CSV puppies need to be with a person, in a home - either the new owner, breeder, or some other arrangement with an experienced person. I even take my pups to work with me at school when they are little.

I agree it's not the best idea

We will have the same problem soon.. I still think that I personally would import given the situation... but yes, you will have to find something that works for you, what you feel comfortable with, what agrees with you, definitely! The rabies-free islands are always a 'special situation'....

I think anti-rabies regulations are too rigorous. UK is the extreme but the other EU countries have tight rules also. Basically anyone who wants to import a puppy with a decent age for a good socialization has to overcome several osbtacles.
I'm in this situation now... maybe I'll have to do thousands of kms just to bring my puppy from an EU country to another...
