Travel and entry requirements

These are European Union pet travel rules, not kennel club rules. What applies depends on the country the dog travels from. For every group: up to 5 dogs per trip. More are allowed only for a show, competition or sporting event, with written proof that the dogs are entered, and all dogs over 6 months old. Luxembourg follows the European Union pet travel rules. Source: European Commission and national government pages, accessed 3 Nov 2026. Rules change, so check again before every trip.

Arriving from an EU countryGovernment travel rule

Any other EU country, for example Germany, France or Italy.

Microchip
Microchip, fitted before or on the same day as the rabies vaccination (otherwise the dog must be vaccinated again). A clearly readable tattoo applied before 3 July 2011 is also accepted.
Rabies
Valid rabies vaccination, given at 12 weeks or older and not before the microchip. The first vaccination is valid after 21 days. A booster given before the last one runs out keeps cover with no wait.
Titre test
Not required.
Document
EU pet passport, filled in by an authorised vet, showing the microchip number, the rabies vaccination and any tapeworm treatment.
Tapeworm
Not required to enter Luxembourg. Under EU rules only Finland, Ireland, Malta, Northern Ireland and Norway ask for it.
Entry point
No travellers' point of entry is needed. Those checks are only for dogs coming from outside the EU.
Pre-notice
Not stated.

Arriving from Great BritainGovernment travel rule

England, Scotland and Wales. The EU treats Great Britain as a listed non-EU country. Northern Ireland follows EU rules.

Microchip
Microchip, fitted before or on the same day as the rabies vaccination (otherwise the dog must be vaccinated again). A clearly readable tattoo applied before 3 July 2011 is also accepted.
Rabies
Valid rabies vaccination, given at 12 weeks or older and not before the microchip. The first vaccination is valid after 21 days. A booster given before the last one runs out keeps cover with no wait.
Titre test
Not required. Great Britain is on the EU list of non-EU countries that need no titre test.
Document
EU animal health certificate, issued by an official vet (or an authorised vet, endorsed by the authorities) in the country you leave, plus your signed declaration that the trip is not commercial (no sale or change of owner). It is valid for 10 days from issue until the check at the first EU point of entry (longer by the length of a sea crossing), then for up to 6 months for travel between EU countries, or until the rabies vaccination runs out if that is sooner. A dog living in Great Britain cannot use a pet passport, even one issued in the EU. The same certificate covers the onward drive, so it still works if you enter the EU in, for example, France or Italy and then travel on to Luxembourg. You need a new certificate for each trip.
Tapeworm
Not required to enter Luxembourg. Under EU rules only Finland, Ireland, Malta, Northern Ireland and Norway ask for it.
Entry point
Your first stop in the EU must be a travellers' point of entry, where you tell the officials you have a dog so they can check it and the papers. If you come straight to Luxembourg, use one of the places on Luxembourg's list.
Pre-notice
Not stated.
Going home
Back to Great Britain: tapeworm treatment by a vet 24 to 120 hours (1 to 5 days) before you arrive, unless you come straight from Finland, Ireland, Malta, Norway or Northern Ireland. Treat again within 28 days of getting home.

Arriving from a listed non-EU countryGovernment travel rule

Countries on the EU list (Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2026/636), for example Australia, Canada, Japan, Serbia or the USA. Check your country on the European Commission list.

Microchip
Microchip, fitted before or on the same day as the rabies vaccination (otherwise the dog must be vaccinated again). A clearly readable tattoo applied before 3 July 2011 is also accepted.

Shows in Luxembourg in 2026 where the CACL (national certificate) can be won

Every show in 2026 in our show database where the CACL towards the Luxembourg title can be won: international (CACIB) shows, which also award the CACL. Shows on two or three days in a row at the same place are one row. 2 of 2 events in 2026 have a Cairn count. Every CACIB show day also awards the CACL, so there are 4 chances in 2026: 4 CACIB days plus 0 national-only days.

2026 onlyAll figures and shows below are for this year. Earlier years are not included.

Counts come from our show database (published results and catalogues). Every show in an event that awards the CACL is one chance to win it. For an event with several shows, the bar and the figures above use the highest Cairn entry of any show in that event. The CACIB (international certificate) appears only as a label on each row. We have not yet checked the national show calendar of Luxembourg Kennel Federation, so national or club shows that award the CACL may be missing. Fewer entries can mean less competition, but numbers are only one part of the picture.
