[blockquote]I am very interested in the Kangal breed and maybe, sometime in the future I would be interested in bringing one home from Turkey. I know that several people in Denmark own this breed. Though I have heard that it is illigal to import the Kangal from Turkey to Denmark - Possibly because it is a national and rare breed of dog, but I am not sure - Is it true - If so, why? [/blockquote] since about 3 years it is forbidden to import dogs from third countries in the EU.The conditions are that the dog is at least 7 months old , microchipped, and have his titer tests. Unfortunatly many turks tried to smuggle puppies to Germany and quite a few were caught at the border. The puppies were immediatly confiscated and set in quarantaine for 4 months, €15.- a day. Plus the high fees for not following the health and deseases laws. France and Holland are also very strickt, because these countries have been declarated rabies free and do not want to loose this status..
