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
