The International Schools Review Forum

Such an agonizing decision. Starting to think I'm better off leaving the dog behind. What's he going to do all day in a tiny apartment. I can send for him if it seems right, but am now leaning against bringing him. Just seems like the smarter decision.

[quote="krdking"]I am moving to Beijing and have a cat and a dog. There is a one animal per visa policy in China, which I could get around, but the problem is that dogs over 14" are not allowed within the 5th ring road. I have a boxer, and even though she is only 40 pounds, she is well over the 14" limit, so she is staying home. Luckily I have a great friend whose family will foster her.

The moral of the story - check city regulations as well as country.[/quote]

Which must be virtually ignored as we have some massive dogs in our neighborhood (which is just outside the 4th ring).

Is your school downtown or in Shunyi?

Ive seen some big dogs well inside the 5th ring when I was in Beijing... Im sure theres someone you can pay off if you need too.
