Who's expecting a puppy in the near future?

We are!!!!!!!!!

She'll get to Honolulu on March 21, then one more hop skip and a jump over to our island. Her name is Laila and she's dark brindle with black mask, and a little white spot just above her nose. She's 7 weeks now................oh why does the time have to go by sooooooo slooooow???

I know there are some others out there waiting patiently for their new baby also. I want to hear from you!!!!!

Congrats on your baby! How exciting! :D I was just curious--I know Hawaii has some major restrictions on bringing dogs to the islands and strict quarantine rules...since your pup is coming from New Zealand (right?) is it less difficult than bringing dogs from the US? Being military, I know about the problems encountered when transfering to Hawaii with pets.

I Am!!

She's due to come home on April 2nd!

Congrats on your baby! Love the name!

Congrats. I wish I was expecting but with a senior pup and a adolecent on my hands I couldn't handle anymore. But I can live through others

To answer Jill's question,
It is much easier to bring a dog in from New Zealand because
NZ is also rabies free, so the quarantine law is lifted on dogs from
NZ, Aust & British Isles.
If one was moving to Hawaii from US mainland, the dog would either need to be quarantined for 120 days or have current rabies shots and a bunch of other tests done prior to arriving in Hawaii.
So we went the NZ route, it's a lot of coordinating but will be so worth it once our new "daughter" is home

Nz?

where did you find one in new zealand and how much is it costing you (purchase, shipping, etc)? I have been looking all over oahu but no luck so far. There were two fawn pups here one weekend when I went to the Big Island but they were taken when I got back. my new neighbors were able to find a 2 yr old at the humane society so i am even more determined. i am dying to get a boxer puppy. congrats on your new baby!

I wish we were.

I might be wrong but I think the rules have changed about bringing a dog from the mainland. It isn't that long now.

Congratulations!!

If you bring a puppy into the islands from the US mainland, the pup will have to be a minimum of 4 months old before they can qualify for the "short" quarantine. So we went with NZ because they're rabies free country.

How exciting! We are currently on a waiting list for a litter due the first week of April. We'll see how that works out...we're also an approved home for adopting a rescue Boxer. My DH would rather wait, but no can do!! He would prefer a rescue, b/c we don't have to go through the whole puppy thing, but I don't care either way. I think we'll probably end up going with the rescue. We already have an 8 year old and a 1 year old, and Skye just isn't as tolerant as she was when she was younger!!! So we'll see...
