Hi BE

My name is Sara, and my husband Mark has been offered a job outside Halifax NS. We are hoping to get over there in the next six months, along with our two kids - Jake who is 4 and a half, Josh who is 3 in July, and our six! Yes thats Six alaskan malamutes.

Anyway, I have been skulking around this forum for a few weeks now, and thought it time I introduced myself! Especially as I have just posted a question about paperwork in the immigration section!

Look forward to chatting to you all!

Hi Sara,

We have just started the process too, hoping to be in Alberta for October, we have two kids also 8 and 11.

Welcome to forum, lots of good info here.

Welcome to BE and god luck with your move.

That will cost a bit transporting six doggies over here!!!

Well! Something I have been informed, is that apparantly you can get one dog per person over as excess baggage! It doesn't cost anywhere near as much as transporting them over as freight! I have been told this by someone over in Canada (my breeders contacts) so where I have been quoted something like £4000 to get the lot of them over, it could cost us as little as £1000 for 4 of them, and then a freight charge for the remaining 2!


Anyway we are in the hell of trying to sell houses at the minute. So it all seems a little far off at the minute, though ideally we would like to get out there before our eldest starts school in September.

Hi and welcome - v useful site

v. friendly people too!!

Welcome to BE hope all goes well with your impending move to Halifax- and good luck with the dog move
