Good dogs aren't necessarily expensive. I have been to South Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin for dogs and never paid more than $500.

LOL Guess I am one since I drove to Wisconsin to pick up my re-homed dog. Bill of sale was $1. At the border we were asked to show the bill and I also gave them the vet record that he'd been vaccinated for rabies. The customs guy questioned the bill of sale. Told him this is a neutered dog. Can not be bred nor shown because he is neutered. He was simply a house dog and I asked the agent to name a value. The agent waved us through.Quote:
no idiot will travel 100s of KM to get a pure bred dog for $200.
deleted. Forget the rant. Bobbing around in the North Sea is getting to me.
"Make sure you have a veterinarian give you a letter stating the dog has been examined and cleared health wise before you get to customs. You will also be charged HST so will need a bill of sale too. Be warned, custom's agents realize that people don't drive hundreds of miles into another country to buy a $100 dollar dog that is purebread. Have the breeder give you a few days worth of the food it has been eating to minimize the shock to its system if you cant buy it locally. " quote ?????
How can they prove that dog was brought in from the us.. And not yours before the trip... I have no papers or anything for my dog... Guess I need vaccination papers.. But what's to say that was my dog originally?Quote:

That being said, can you now prove if you paid HST upon importing the puppy initially? Just saying! :-)Quote:

I brought a pup back last March from the US. Just needed a vet check within 10 days of crossing the border. If it is over 3 months it will also need proof of rabies vaccination. Also bring a receipt of sale.
Correct me if I am wrong or misunderstanding, Canadian Vet checked it and all the shots are done here, obviously he wasn't brought from US.Quote:
