How many dogs?

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can help. We are looking to move to SA on a 190 visa. We have 3 dogs and it has always been the plan to bring them with us. Ive been looking into rules and regs of having dogs in oz. I know they would have to be registered and we would need to pay an annual fee etc, I have noticed there seems to be a limit on the amount of dogs you can have? Am I reading it correctly that most councils only allow 2 dogs but you can apply to the council for an additional dog? If this is the case how would I go about this prior to making the move as obviously I would need to have this in place prior to the dogs arriving?

Sorting the dogs is proving more complex than our own visa application

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum. Just so you know your first few posts will need to be approved by a moderator before they appear.

I can't help with your query as I don't have dogs but I do hope you can get it sorted and bring your dogs with you.

Hi there. I've replied in detail over on PIO

As well as the responses you have on PIO I just wanted to add that a friend of mine had two boxers, and came back from a year working in the US with a third dog - a Hurricane Katrina rescue dog. As far as I know they just applied to have the three and it was no problem - and their house was just a normal suburban house on an estate, so not rural particularly.

As far as properties are concerned, have a look at http://www.countryestates.com.au - one of my favourite property porn websites!
