I cant leave the dogs

Hi we have two dogs, a Jack Russell 3 and a Doberman 5, we have decided to move to the UK from South Africa for about 2years for work experience - the thought of leaving the dogs is so devastating. I am not sure any of our familys would be prepaired to take them together and two years is a long commitment. My ultimate is to take them with - my husband thinks I am insane. The costs from South Africa are high, and the 6 month quarantine is long. Does any one have any advice? I am crazy about both girls and every time i look at them I feel so guilty and everytime I think about leaving them even with family I cry.

Our dogs are members of the family. I cannot imagine making any decision (other than out of total and absolute necessity) that would not include them.

You are not crazy, I could not leave mine OR could I subject them to 6 months of quarantine.
I have a friend who moved to UK from states. She found a wonderful kennel in Belgium that took the dogs for the 6 months instead of putting them into the cages in the UK. Now this was breed specific......sheepdogs going to a sheepdog family/kennel.

Perhaps you could live on the Continent with the dogs for 6 months?
I would never leave my boys behind. NEVER! They've been moving with us even if we have to pay $$$$$! I don't care if I have to spend thousands of dollars on them they are my puppies and they are coming with me/us.

I've heard from a friend who moved to England that the 6 months quarantine was to keep the dogs in their yard/home.
I could never leave my dogs behind. In fact, we ended up buying a house because we couldn't find a place to rent that would take the dogs We were forced to buy a house. So our last move cost us $255,000... just so we could keep our dogs. :lol: Having a house that was ours was also nice bonus. :wink:
Prof. Boni I would never leave my boys behind. NEVER!

NEVER say NEVER. :cry:
