The plan is now that I am picking up Stella (Team Art Kåra) on the 22th of April, she will then be 10 weeks old. If I get an excemption to the requirement of a rabies vaccination and the development of antibodies (21 days needed for them to fully develop), we are driving down to Austria beginning of May, after she get her rabies vaccination (5th of May). If I do not get the excemption we are going to Austria end of May.

If everything works out with the documents, I am planning to go to Sweden in April to pick up this young lady, a lapponian herder. On the picture she is 5 weeks old. To bring her to Austria I will need an exemption to a new law from last year, stating that all dogs entering into Austria must have a rabies vaccination at least 21 days ago to ensure a good immune response. A rabies vaccination can earliest be administered at week 12, which means that a dog has to be at least 16 weeks old to enter Austria. Before, it was possible to take a dog up to 12 weeks old with out a rabies vaccination and a dog between 12 and 15 weeks with a rabies vaccination given at week 12. I hope I can get a waiver, since I am bringing her by myself and I am the owner of the dog and she is not for sale. Because of the rules in Germany, it looks like I have to fly from Sweden to Austria with the dog. On a flight with Austrian Airlines the dog has to be at least 12 weeks old and must not exceed 8 kg, I think that should be manageble. Another option is that I pick up her at age 12 weeks get a her a rabies vaccination and travel around in Sweden for three weeks before heading down to Austria.
