BJean Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) Was wondering if anyone had encountered problems with the AQIS Quarantine process / stay due to a dog that was difficult to handle in some situations (ie HA if not handled correctly). And if a dog can be refused release from quarantine based on temperament reasons? ta Edited May 2, 2010 by lilli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aziah Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) That's not what lilli was asking Oakway - the question was has anyone encountered issues with a dog being released (AFTER it has completed it's time in quarantine) due to a temperament problem (I assume that problem being human aggressive if not handled correctly)...

Lilli I havent heard of it but based on outside laws and what affects they have, it would have to be a very lengthy and possibly costly process for AQIS, and besides that based on what ?? teh people that work there are dog handlers poss vet nurses (not really qualified to state or asess a dog as having a temp problem that would stop it leaving q !) JMO Take into account all factors of quarantine, stress on the dog of new environs, new handlers and at times lenthy flight can all make an animal react in a different way. When mine were in Q I saw some what appearded very unfriendly dogs, all went home! As far as I know the only req for the stay period are the req 30 days and all paperwork to be completed properly and the monies paid. I pmed you re your question, you will have to email me and I will dig out what I have and email you. Edited May 3, 2010 by Wazzat Xolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooops, sorry read it the wrong way. No, have never heard of one being aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspyre Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I dont think that you would have a problem with its release unless it actually did bite someone during its stay. If that happened and the dog was declared a 'dangerous dog' then I guess it could be refused release??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJean Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 okay thankyou dog would be from security lineage, and travelling Ukraine, Romania/Croatia, Australia so approx 12 - 14 months old on arrival and because it would not be untypical of breed character/lineage to stand up to affront if dog felt trapped or pushed I was querying if there were any temperament parameters for dogs in quarantine. But I think my question has been answered so thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-time Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 As quarantine areas are considered "Federal", Dangerous Dog laws do not apply. If a dog were to bite someone that's a local/state matter....unless the dog is prohibited breed. My take on it only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is what I thought and was hoping for From memory I didn't think there were any specific requirements wrt temp restrictions/requriements but I was not 100% certain. JMO Take into account all factors of quarantine, stress on the dog of new environs, new handlers and at times lenthy flight can all make an animal react in a different way. Yes I was considering the above and thought, hmm I'm not sure if this guy will like very much all the change and different handlers. But similarly any behaviour deemed to be 'aberration' by AQIS, could be countered by proper environment and then raising, so given there is no official specification then all is okay.

Yes, it took 6 months to have the breed recognised here and can be fully shown July 1st this year, the FCM have Xolos shown world wide, just Australia does things a little diff according to them! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 When you import doesn't the paperwork mention something about prohibited breeds/aggressive breeds etc etc? Has been a few years since I imported last but I remember that this kind of question was on the import permit application somewhere. That may bear looking into.
