Importing a puppy from Europe?

Hi guys,

I'm looking at getting a breed that is relatively hard to get in the UK after a lot of research into whats best for us.

Whilst there are UK breeders, they are few and far between with large waitlists for the puppies. I'm starting to look at importing a puppy from France, and would love any stories and advice from people that have done this.

Obviously in doing this, the puppy will be 15 weeks old rather than 8. I've only ever had puppies from 8 weeks old, and I know those first few weeks are important for socialisation and bonding. Does anyone have any stories or advice on this too?

Thank you!
