Euro Puppy's Blog

Participants of the Dubai Pet show trying to keep their dogs disciplined.

After the United Kingdom, Malta and Sweden are also simplifying their pet import legislation from 2012, falling in line with the rest of EU member countries.

This is great news to anybody about to import a dog, as the six long months of quarantine will no longer be required. The details of the new rules are unknown as of this moment, but both countries are likely to introduce legislation similar to that of the UK, as we reported in July.

We have recently received a letter from Petra, a Happy Miniature Bull Terrier owner in the United Arab Emirates and we think her experience will help many of you out there searching for that special puppy of yours.

She starts her letter: “I have received the puppy and all went well. I must say that I am very happy with my choice.” Her puppy is indeed very good looking and confident which you can tell just by looking at her face. Petra continues: “I have always gone directly to breeder to purchase my dogs because I wanted to see where they come from, how the parents are kept and how well the puppies are socialized.”

It is perfectly reasonable from anyone looking to buy a puppy to want to visit the breeder in person, see the parents, the environment and of course, the puppy itself. However, the traditional way of selecting and purchasing a puppy is not an option for everyone:

“But because I live in the UAE and I have little time to look for breeders with available puppies in my short summer holiday, I had to rely on strangers like you to do the leg work for me.”

That’s where Euro Puppy comes in. We visit the breeders personally, photograph their puppies, give them a good health check and will only recommend the ones to you that meet the standard. If you want to save yourself the “leg work” as Petra says, we are here to help.

“I must admit that I had my doubts buying an animal from the internet. I was a little worried that I was purchasing a dog from horrible breeding facilities where the bitches are covered over and over again to make maximum profits. I worried that the puppies were not well kept and psychologically disturbed.”

The summer is here and I'm pretty sure most of you can't wait to pack up, grab the kids and the dog and hit the nearest beach. If the only thing missing is the dog, we are here to help you and make this year's holiday season even more fun. We've been celebrating Euro Puppy's 10th birthday with special offers and surprises since the beginning of 2011 and we don't feel like stopping at all. For June, we came up with a special surprise that will not only save anyone buying a puppy $100, but it will also help other people decide about what breed to choose.
