You need a pet passport to avoid quarrantine, takes about 6 months and invloves putting a chip in the dog vaccinating against rabies, getting a rabies booster and then a blood test for rabies antibodies.  Then there are only a few port/airports that can handle dogs so check beforehand  :y

Brought up with my two boys (now aged 13 & 9). Socialised with adults and kids during his puppy years so he`s a big softie. Unless somebody comes to the front door of the house, then he let`s them know that he lives here ;D ;D. At the end of the day any dog can be aggressive, depends how they`re brought up :y

we had a staffy pup, was really mental. she died for some unknown reason. went out & bought another staffy, she turned into a right bits & pieces dog, staffy & rotty cross. she ran off never to be seen again. so 3rd time lucky with a highland terrier maybe.  ::)

you are right. my kids have a yorkie mix that is agresive with other male dogs. at least he thinks he is. i wouldn't mind having an akita myself, but not enough space...actualy thinking of that there a quite number of breeds i would like to have.

(i hope there is no filter for people who can't bother to use both hands for typing - thus only small caps)
