Calgary dog owners are expressing concern over new U.S. border rules that could prevent them from taking their furry friends over the American border in just a couple of weeks.
They require any dog entering the U.S. from Canada to be at least six months old, equipped with a compliant microchip and have CDC import forms.
"Just in terms of the cost and uncertainty as to what regulations really involve and the short-term value of going through all the paperwork and the stress and inconvenience," she said. Getting to Canada might not be an issue but once they compete in a show, they may have difficulty entering the United States when returning home.
"It will possibly impact our own industry, where many of us have our own scientific breeding programs with good genetics and we maintain these levels by sharing genetics between organizations in North America," he said. "We've also written to CDC to see what we can do to get some sort of exemptions or a clear understanding of the encumbrances that are potentially going to be put on persons with disabilities who use guidance service dogs."Despite securing some concessions on the new rules, Holland says he's still concerned about further changes.
"Tourism in the U.S. and in Canada will be impacted as travellers are forced to pay extra costs to travel to the U.S. with their dogs and navigate overwhelming administrative processes," he said."Transportation sectors such as trucking will face challenges that will affect both American and Canadian supply chains. Canada and the U.S. trade billions of dollars in goods and services every year.
The shooter who attempted to assassinate former U.S. president Donald Trump on Saturday normally would have been at work that day, but he told his boss he needed that the day off because he had 'something to do,' according to multiple law enforcement officials.Health Minister Mark Holland says he's trying to convince U.S. authorities that Canadian dogs should be allowed to cross the border without restrictions.The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.
