This is what the information sheet says. So I am under the impression that I am able to enter him even though he won't be here. I will ring them if I have to, I just wanted to see if anyone on here had done something similar as what I am planning to do. Also I put in the application for the import permit today so I am expecting that all will be fine and go ahead as planned.

Yes he will be in show condition. Also he has and will continue to be shown very regularly in the U.S so he will be used to that environment. Whilst I haven't entered Sydney Royal before (as posted above) I have actually been there and shown my dogs - I just didn't enter them myself. So I am aware of what I will be asking of my dog. Thanks for your response.

Hi, These might be really ridiculous questions so I apologise for that. This is my first time importing a dog and also the first time entering Sydney Royal. I have read the Imported Dog Information Sheet and had a few questions. Firstly, it says that the exhibit’s pedigree needs to be lodged, prior to being shown, with the ANKC Ltd Member Body’s Office in the State or Territory where the exhibit is to be first shown. Is it asking for the pedigree for the country of origin in this case the AKC? Or the Export Pedigree? Can it actually be a copy or do I have to wait until I receive the original when the import arrives? He only gets out of quarantine 3 days before the breed is on at the Royal so if it needs to be the original is 3 days long enough? If I can send in a photocopy to DogsNSW how long before the show should I send the pedigree in? Can I actually enter the dog when he will not be in the country at the time of entering? He will be in the country 3 months from the closing date. Is there anything else I should know? Also are there any other shows I can enter while he is not registered with the ANKC, only with AKC? I am not from NSW but will be there for a few weeks after as I am showing my dogs at several all breeds shows and our specialty shows. I am not comfortable sending his paperwork by post back to my state's controlling body so cannot register him until I return home. Thank you in advance.

I have been told that importing frozen semen in toy breeds can be a problem - that the semen isn't viable because of the amount - I have been told this by several toy dog breeders.

Thank you for your responses, it has given me a lot to think about

We are importing a male - we both want to use him in our breeding program. I have bought 3 puppies from this person and want to get an import that will suit the bloodlines of my puppies and obviously theirs. They are more established than I am and I couldn't use this dog for a few years. They are happy for the dog to have permanent residence with me because I show more often than them and I have less dogs to show. Neither of us personally know the breeder that we will import the dog from. I'm not sure if we will split costs for litters or what prefix will be used

We have only just started the process of choosing an import but haven't gotten into the nitty-gritty discussion yet - we know which kennel and which bitch we want a puppy from - we will be having a discussion about all of the above but just wanted to find out others' opinions and thoughts on how it should work, or if others have done it and how it worked for them

Hello, I am going to import a dog from overseas and will be importing it with another breeder on a co-ownership arrangement. So I will be owning half the puppy, paying half of the import costs and the dog will be permanently living with me so that I can show it. (I show dogs more regularly than the person I am improving the dog with). I have been trying to look up co-ownership agreements so that I have an idea of what I can expect to happen, but I am only finding information on a breeder selling a puppy and co-owning with new owners. Could someone please tell me what I should expect an agreement to look like and what should be included in it? Should the dog be insured and who should pay for insurance? Vet bills? Etc? Will be my first time importing a dog and first time co-owning. Thanks in advance.
