Megathread: Update to CDC requirements for entry into US with dogs.

The CDC has updated requirements for border crossing into the US with dogs. You can see the following statement on their website here.

There's been a lot of discussion on their Facebook post you can find here.

What does this mean:
- Dog must be at least 6 months in age
- Dogs must have microchip
- Dogs must have health records to include vet exam
- Import form submitted to CDC to include photo of dog (at least 10 days prior for dogs under age 1 year old)
- Current rabies vaccination

Why this is important to you:

So the majority if our community lives in North America. Many folks, especially if you live in the northern part of the US may opt to consider Canadian ethical breeders. This will impact those plans given that puppies under the age of 6 months will no longer be allowed to cross the border it seems.

If you are traveling and intend to bring your dog and will be border crossing, you will need to know this information for your passage into the US.

Some folks participate in international dog shows and sports competitions - this will impact you.

We wanted to provide you with a megathread to discuss this new information rather than having multiple posts pop up. Please keep discussions civil - given there are likely pros and cons to these changes.
