So my hubby and I are in Israel and were supposed to only be here until March but he was just offered a really good position within his company and now they want us here for much...longer....
We are starting the process of bringing Doc over here. I was talking to some dog people at a show a couple weeks ago and they said it is illegal to import dogs into the country that are cropped and docked but I noticed dogs at the show that were cropped and docked so I was really confused. Then I found out that as long as the dog was born before July 2010, then they can come over.
Okay, so Doc is in the clear... but... this really struck a negative chord with me.
How many other countries have this law in place? I knew Israel had outlawed cropping and docking but you could still import cropped/docked dogs from other countries but now that is gone as well. WTH?
At the end of February there is a Doberman show here, I plan to attend and see what is in store for the breed here.
