Reading further, There was a problem at Customs at LAX and elsewhere, too.
And odd questions at the drive through borders. This may be coming up because
of the signed Farm Bill, but there are no rules written for that yet and it
only addresses pups under 6 months, anyway. There are too many stories of this
happening to be urban legends, and with all the GSDs that go back and forth
through borders to be shown.......................
