Selling a puppy to Hawaii

[ufimych]

Did anyone sell puppies to buyers in Hawaii? I am going to sell one of my Saluki puppies there. They have complex rules about importation of dogs and cats, but I decided to go ahead, because the buyer has exceptionally good environment for keeping a dog. I would like to learn from you how to do this.

Someone on here recently had to move to Hawaii, and deal with the importation of their dog. Wish I could remember the name; hopefully they will chime in.

If I'm not mistaken there is a 6 month quarantine.

A friend of mine opted not to sell a puppy there because of the strict laws reguarding importing.

it takes 6 months to ready a dog for import into hawaii...

you have 2 options, the first is hawaiis version of the pet passport, for this you iwll have to contact hawaiis agricultural and import departments.
its very specific sets of regulations reguardgind shots, deworming ect which takes aproximatly 6 months to have the vet do properly...
if not perfect the animal will be enetered into quarrentein even with all efforts.

the other option is the puppy enters into a 6 month quarrentein.

FoxyWench, this sounds scary. I decided to go ahead with this, because our vet talks with confidence that we can make it. I will tell you, if everything will end successfully, or not.

That sounds like to much work for me and a lot of stress on the dog.

But in the long run, if it's a good home, it could be worth it.

I would never do it. There are plenty of good homes that dont require the puppy to go through the stresses of a 6 month quarentine and what not. JMPO
