Blanca, the cops feel very unconfortable when fleecing you out of your money when out numbered by dogs..

well, I hope this is just mordida hogwash and that the law has not really changed.
We only have one dog and he doesn't even go north with us usually, but I did not understand this rule nor do I like it.

We just crossed at Los Algodones with three dogs. They said nothing other than asking us their names and said the little ones were cute! We have two
smaller dogs (Cairn Terriers) and one Black Lab. This was our first experience crossing at Algodones and it was by far the most pleasant crossing
we've ever had! We were towing a Toy Hauler, they had us pull to the side, they checked us out and we were on our way in less then 10 minutes. We
also went to the dentista for the first time in Algodones (Dr. Eva Urena) and the experience was awesome! Root canal and crown. NO PAIN to the mouth
or wallet!! Roger and Carol

We were allowed to cross "this time", but told we would be turned away in the future.
Next time I guess I'll have to walk across with two, while my husband drives across with the other two... |
Not a new law, just an old law that has not been enforced.
The mexican border is getting modernized, more and better trained staff. The old ways of inconsistent enforcement are passing, you best follow the
rules.
There are permits for taking more than 2 dogs, look it up

Nota Bene
When you intend to introduce into Mexico three or more pets or any other animal species , you must fulfil the requirements established on the
Zoo-sanitary Requirements Page (Hoja de Requisitos Zoosanitarios).

So just how are dogs counted? In Mexico it all depends on who is doing the counting and how the law is being applied.
We were told the "new law" (passed less than two months ago) specifically applies to the number of dogs per vehicle, and not to the number of dogs per
owner. Thus two people in the same car cannot have more than one dog each; three people in the same car cannot have one dog each and cross the border.
Flying into Mexico dogs are counted per owner, with limits set per flight. For example, Alaska Airlines (allegedly) uses Vari-kennel crate-sizes
(100-500) to establish the limit of dogs in cargo per flight. Kennel size count is limited to any combination of kennels not to exceed 800.

Since you cross the border with so many dogs, it would behoove you to go read the law. Please report back here after you read the law, curious to hear
the answer.
