British Dog Import Regulations Seize Unauthorized Landings
The British Board of Agriculture issued prohibitions on importing dogs from the United States and other countries. Only dogs from Ireland or Mon may land without licenses. Applicants must submit to London, Whitstable Place, a signed statement detailing breed, country of origin, landing port, and intended transport path, with route details to ensure isolation. Dogs landing without licenses are contraband. This order stems from the Diseases of Animals Act of 1804 to combat hydrophobia.
