Clear DayHi everybody,

In December, on my visit to family and friends in Switzerland, I'll be
picking up a BMD pup Bijou to bring to the USA. The pup will be ca. 11 weeks
old then. My breeder wants to know if  Bijou needs a rabbies shot besides a
health certificate. I visited the Center for Desease and Control Prevention
(CDC) website, which states the following:

"Dogs must be vaccinated against rabies at least 30 days prior to entry into
the United States, except for puppies younger than 3 months of age and dogs
originating or located for 6 months or more in areas that are free of
rabies. A dog with an unexpired vaccination certificate meets these
requirements."

Is this information current/correct? Have any of you brought back a puppy
from Switzerland and was a rabbies shot required. Were there any problems?

Thanks, Hildy
