Hi All,

We are looking at getting a puppy (Belgian malinois). At first, we thought it would be best to wait until we arrived in DR so we wouldnt have to uproot the pup but everything I have read so far says that you cannot bring pups in without their full vacccinations and you can't get them vaccinated until a certain age (3 months I think?) So I was wondering if a) anyone knew of a reputable malinois breeder in DR or b) if anyone knew if there were different rules for importing puppies under 3 months of age?
Thanks,
Sheri

So far I haven't heard of any reputable breeder of any breed here
The puppies should stay with the litter and the mother at least 8 weeks, preferably 10 weeks. If you look at the vaccination schedule, most of it is done by 12 weeks, everything after is just a booster shot, so you can bring a 3 month puppy with all the basic vaccination done.
