Hi everyone. This is my first post on the forum, and I hope you knowledgeable folks around here can give me a little (actually, quite a lot of) advice.
I'm currently living in Seoul, South Korea. I've been here for almost six years, and three years ago, my wife and I adopted a pekingese (named Charles). We're planning to relocate back to the UK in the next few months, and I'm starting to look into bringing Charles back with us. The issues I'm running into:
1. Charles is big for his breed, around 14 pounds (6.4 kilos), putting him over the weight limit for travelling in the cabin.
2. Many airlines are now banning brachycephalic dogs (including pekingese) from flying as cargo.
3. UK pet import rules state that pets MUST fly as manifested cargo.
Can anyone see a way around this? There's no way I'm putting him up for adoption AGAIN. He was already abandoned once in his life, and I take my responsibilities towards my dog very seriously. Money (within reason) isn't a huge issue here. I'll shell out a good few thousand dollars if it gets my dog back to the UK. I'll endure the inconvenience of travelling in some unusual way. Charles is 4 years old, neutered, in good health, and I'm on top of all the vaccination/paperwork requirements for the UK.
Thanks in advance.
