Not to contradict or argue or whatever but GB it not "truly" in the EU yet and the way it looks they may not want to (you guys seem to do well as you are! ;-). Yeah, weird for an American to make that statement.

The biggest indicator is the currency. You have Pounds and the EU countries have Euro. That is a real sign that England and territories have not fully accepted The EU charter otherwise you would be on Euro.

Yeah, a lot of discussion on this still and many details to work out as the EU expands.

But I did speak with the German Vets at the airport where the kids flew in and they made it quite clear that all "true" EU countries follow the same exact rules for dogs (hunds). I ran into a glitch we had to resolve over this fact as the kids where in the airport kennel. We had to follow strict EU guidelines -- which actually make it easier in a way.

It is sad England has a long quarantine in this day in age even with well documented dogs. I do not know how they get around it for the major dog show like Westminster. Show dogs in quarantine for months?

Thanks
