Bringing pup to Canada from U.S

I just had a pup born in the U.S, and he will be there for training untill August. I'm driving to Idaho to pick him up, any paperwork needed to bring him accross?


Thanks in advance,
Don.

Certificate showing rabies vaccination if he/she is over 3 months old.

A Bill of Sale for the selling price of the dog in addition to Rabies Certificate.

Dick

Thanks. He'll be 6 months old. Will any taxes be levied?

Yes they will. My advice is don't try and screw customs. They know darn well you aren't going through that trouble and expense for a $300 dog even if you have a receipt that says that. I declared full value and other than them wanting to play with the cute puppy it was a smooth process.

Thanks BDH I forgot about that. Yes you will be taxed if you are over your personal exemption limit. Make sure you have some sort receipt and the sellers phone number. They get funny about the valuation of dogs at the border.

I know they recently increased the amount you can bring over the border for a weekend stay.... Something you may want to look into....

Thanks! All great info!

He's coming out of Cedarwoods in Idaho.

Yes, you want to declare the dog as they will give you receipt for the taxes levied. Keep the receipt with your dog's travel documents should you end up crossing back and for across the border. If you do not have a receipt (did not claim the dog when originally coming home into Canada) and on a future trip back from the US into Canada without a receipt, it is determined that the dog had been originally imported and taxes not paid, CBSA will determine a value on the dog and taxes will then need to be paid. Could be less, but then again it could be a lot more!

Just curious, has anyone ever heard of this actually happening? I always declare pups but since they are pointers they almost always fall under my maximum personal exemption so no tax is paid and no receipt is received. The few times I have been over the limit with pups they just flagged me through anyway so no receipt there either.
