Dog Requirements

no its the same exam they do when you take them in evry year for a checkup and as long as you are current on shots she should be fine
 
I have hunted Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, regularly for 30 years, lots of others, including Canada. Travelled extensively with dogs. Nebraska, has a rule requiring proof of rabies vaccination, as does Kansas, most others. I have never had anyone from the state refuse a current rabies tag and reciept. Of course there are additional forms and clearances for Canada. Yes, I have been asked to produce these, by highway patrol, (while pulling a dog trailer), motor vehicle inspection stations, and USFWS agents on a Federal refuge. I have been aware of the S.D. rules for many, many, years, and they apply even to transport through S.D. to another destination. By the way, if your dog isn't vaccinated for parvo or corona, you won't need to travel to S.D. to have a dead dog, as those diseases are prevelant everywhere, if they don't have resistance, they don't last long, and it ain't pretty. I carry my vet record for rabies, do my own shots for all others, have never had any trouble, but there is always a first time.
 
I guess I don't know, but is parvo a standard yearly vaccination?

Kansas does not require any of the above mentioned to hunt your dog and as far as breeders giving their own shots yes we do for the cost but only the good responsible ones take the extra step to go online and get a shot record for each pup i have givin shot records for every dog or pup that has ever left this place and its kinda like an insurance policy I know they had it and here is the proof it is alot of extra paper work but its worth it in the end

Watch the accusation!!!!!!! Every pup that leaves this kennel has a folder with record of all shots given with label's affixed. Your asking a vet to certify what you didn't pay him/her to do. That's like you changing your own oil. Then taking your truck over to the Ford dealer and asking them to certify it in their records for Warr. coverage. Let's see how easy that gets done. Vets don't want you doing your own vaccinations..that's what their in business for and they don't make any money when you do it. Oh they will do it but they won't like it necessarily.

Also, your Wrong about Kansas. Every state has this requirement. Just not every state/C.O. enforces it.

Dogs and Cats

These animals require a health certificate to enter Kansas. Animals over 3 months of age must have proof of current rabies vaccination.

Government Intrusion

Hey, SD GF&P why stop at the health certificate for Rover. Why don't you have all your officers screen poor non-resident hunters for prostate cancer. I doubt this would happen to a client at a high dollar lodge. The officer would be in his supervisors office the next morning.
 
wow onpoint looks like I was mistaken but it also looks like yo9ur one of those better than you pompuse asses who has to go above and beond proving someone wrong all you had to say was i found out differently but no instead you will keep digging things up that may or maynot be of anyconcern to anyof us that never travel out of state to hunt but thats ok you can be politically correct all you want and continue to do what you do and nobody else will say anything
 
I am in Indiana and on my way to Pierre SD on Friday. I was reading the regs. in the SGFP book before trip to ensure I understood, limits, hunting time, tox or non-tox and saw the Cert Reqt. I am glad I did. I suspect the fine is greater than the cost of the cert. and they would probably quarantine the dog. I got the Health exam/Certificate for $35.00 from my Vet. $15 for cert., rest for the office visit. He had a standard form that I now have in my wallet. I figure it was good to get the check up before the hunt anyway.
Relative to the probable cause issue mentioned above. I suspect an out of state plate is probable cause enough. The law is the law.

and further more onpoint if the state of kansas was or is so worried about it then they should put into the rules and regulations section of the hunting atlas it is after all considered a regulation
 
Geez guys, like I said I only posted this to help the non-residents out. Now it's gotten totally out of control. Look, it is what it is. You can make of it whatever you want but to take this thread and do with it what you have is totally uncalled for. Let's rise to a higher level.
 
your right zeb i aploagize for ruining the thread it just really earks me to have peaple go above and behond prooving someone wrong and act like they are high and mighty for doing it

Sorry, I was the only person who posted about, as a breeder giving my own shots. Seems directed as a response to me and my post. So, why wouldn't I assume you using the words "only the good responsible ones take the extra step" was directed at me, like you were indicating we are not good responsible breeders.

I have no problem with anybody or this thread. You just may want to choose your selection of words a little better when posting your thoughts.

Then you posted something that was untrue about your own states laws.

Just ease up, no reason to get so upset. Try and choose your thoughts a little better and check your info out before stating facts.

Hope you have a great season, Onpoint
 
Does anyone know what the fine actually is and how often someone gets a ticket for it? I've taken my dogs shot records along but never gotten the cert.
 
IMO, they could quarantine your dog/dogs until a vet could have the info from your vet to prove vaccination. Most people hunting on a weekend and vets offices closed. You may be staying a extra day plus a fine..maybe a kenneling bill too. Depends on what kind of C.O. you get. Each C.O. makes it up as they go in many cases. If you get one who is a not so nice guy, it could be as I have posted. Things are tight money wise for most state, county and local governments. Fines and tickets are being given more and more as a source of revenue. That's IMO why the folks DZ hunted with were even presented this problem IMO.

On another note, this is a USDA federal government rule. Not a South Dakota or Kansas only thing.

Yesterday while hunting a public area I met and hunted with a guy and his teenage son from Minnesota. He was telling me that a Conservation Officer had stopped them and never asked to see their license but instead wanted to see the Health Certificates for their dogs. Fortunately they had the records along. I have never heard of this happening so I thought I would share it with everyone.

Thanks for posting this and making us out-of-state hunters aware of this regulation Zeb. :cheers:

In the past, I've always carried my dog's vaccination records but I didn't realize that was insufficient. I'll be in SD in a couple weeks, so I'll be checking with my vet on this tomorrow.
 
I've taken my dogs on fishing trips into Canada multiple times and all that is required is a rabies certificate.

Here is the Canadian government link: http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/animal/imp/petani/canin4e.shtml

I find it odd that a neighboring state has stricter requirements than a neighboring country. I've always brought the rabies certificates to SD but suppose I will speak with my vet about this.

I wonder what percentage of hunting dogs brought to SD each year do NOT have a certificate. My guess is 90% or more.
