Quarantine doesn't make sense

[GurlRacer]

We had the same problem getting a dog from New Zealand to Norway... funny that, they're right next to each other. Cost us a helluva lot of money to begin with, then with holding the dog cost us even more. Thank christ she was out of there within a couple of days after NZ MAF detailed that the dog was clean blah blah blah.

She got back to the mountains in no time.. hopefully this gets sorted out for you soon too!

Lykke til

Do they not have dogs in Sweden ? Even if they do not, would it not have been easier and cheaper to send one from say Germany or the UK ?

German dogs are nasty and arrogant. Dogs from the UK are just plain lazy.

One can understand why NZ is anal, there are a lot of animal related diseases we don't thankfully have, however I am not sure if there is one disease we have here that is not in Europe where borders can be traversed by roving stray beasts.

As to the other ships must be granted pratique before they are allowed to enter our waters if they are coming from certain countries yet a person from those same nations can be carrying potentially harmful viruses and acting as incubators with little or no screening. Some nations are wise enough to thermal scans of passengers and should they be running hot they ask questions, but here that would be considered invasive.

Europe where boarders can be traversed by roving stray beasts.

Enlightened countries like New Zealand have laws forbidding such practices.

You should have kept him and made the Lovely Lady buy another one, dogs are for life.

Wait, what?

She's no skank. In fact she's a lovely girl. Our splitting up was a mutual decision (between me and her 7 friends) and in a moment of weakness, I regrettably gave her the dog which we got together.

Woot A correction by Hitcher, my first and no doubt not my last.

Thanks I will amend the offending post.

Don't sweat it.
the mutt is probably boning every bitch in the cage. Why spoil his holiday. (unless you want a piece of the action)

Feel for you Finn,had to let the love of my life go awhile back after accepting finally that no matter what the hound was never going to like her.

[Scouse]

She's no skank.

Post edited to reflect this.

Finn has been set free. Looks happy if somewhat a bit confused.

The fourth member of ZZ top has finally been cleared from quarantine in Sweden.

One of the reasons our dog 'immgration' is so strict is that NZ is rabies free.
