Probably a royal pain to ship between countries
We used to buy merchandise in NJ and drive it in our cargo van to NS. Hubby had tons of paperwork to fill out, and not even bringing livestock.

Yup.
I can only imagine that it would be a thousand times worse with live animals, even if they came from am NPIP farm.
It is so weird because we have crossed many times with animals over the years and never got asked about papers.
This is somewhat random but I was watching this British show on Netflix called Animal Airport about the animals that come through the london Heathrow airport and i find it really interesting but anyway, they have crazy strict regulations. Supposedly they have loosened them somewhat since the show but still crazy
Good night, tty tomorrow.
Years ago I sent 3 Cockers to UK. Boy that was a fuss. I believe it was long quarantine before they were allowed into the country. Buyer had to pay for that plus shipping etc.I know it was to keep rabies off the island BUT, it doesn't take a dog 3 mos. or more to show rabies. Dogs had to have rabies shots before leaving USA and health certificate etc.
One was a champion in whelp to a ch.,buyer selected. Bad thing is she had to be far enough along for a vet to pronounce her pg but, not so far along as to whelp as soon as she got to quarantine. Of course that was added cost for buyer.
Too nerve wracking for me. Not to mention I sent over a beautiful female gratis because they wanted more of my stud's progeny over there. I said if they would let her live out her full natural life, she was free. What a bozo I was to believe them.
The champion I had sent them "suddenly" passed at 7 yrs of age, once they were through breeding her. By golly if the free female I sent later didn't suddenly pass at 7 yrs. of age also, after her last litter .Coincidence or conspiracy- you be the judge! Parents of said dogs lived quite a bit longer.
I was just sick about it and cut off all communications with the woman. Never sent any more abroad. Incidentally the first sent to a different breeder was a male and he lived quite a lot longer and sired many ofspring. Of course that was probably because a male can be used a lot longer than a female.
Was very happy when I stopped showing & breeding and just had my oldies in the house- they loved it and so did we.

Wow that aounds like a real mess! Sorry about all that!
I believe the quarantine over there was like 6 months which is ridiculous. It doesn't even take a dog 3 months like you said, let alone 6 to show rabies. Or any other parasites for that matter. Not to mention rabies vaccines are mandatory here and they say they last a lot longer than most people think too. Like that they technically don't need all the boosters and stuff. So how could a dog bring it? Of course he could from other countries where a vaccine is not required but still. 6 months for a quarantine is absolutely crazy. And if you have a little puppy you're importing, they're practically full grown by 6 months and you have missed out on critical training and socialization windows plus who knows what they have been eating in quarantine. Probably cheap junk food.
Plus they require tapeworm treatment. Is that even a thing here?
Thankfully though the laws have been relaxed as of Jan 2012 to match EU standards.
Only 21 days now.

Some were afraid it would reintroduce rabies but I don't think that's happened yet.
I am glad they loosened it. A lot of strain on owners and i am sure ridiculously expensive.
As for your dogs, that's sad.
Do you think they really died or did they just rehome them and didn't want to tell you? I doubt they would put them to sleep? That would be heartless. If still healthy that is. So I think they either rehomed them to a pet home without telling you or they really did die. But 2 dogs at the same age?
But then again, maybe they don't have as good of food there? I know they don't always have the same brands we do but idk about quality
