First, I like well behaved dogs who are non-destructive and under control outdoors. I used to have a wonderful Border Collie who was the heart of the family for 16 years so I'm coming at this from a pro-dog stance.
Imported rescue dogs are ending up in Charity rescue homes in the UK where they need to be rehomed again. There is an unscrupulous trade going on and the BVA, British Vet Association is worried that 'Trojan' dogs with hidden health histories are posing a risk here. In 2013 there were no dog imports from Romania. In 2019 the figure was 15,548.
