Answer
It is simply impossible to bring a dog to Australia directly from a non-approved country such as Indonesia. The only way your dog will be able to come to Australia is if she is continuously resident in a DAFF approved country (e.g. Singapore) for a minimum of six months prior to export. There are NO exceptions to this rule.

The total cost will depend on how much it costs for her to spend 6 months in an approved country before coming to Australia. Australian quarantine fees will be around $1300 + crate and shipping, another $2500 or thereabouts (for shipping to and from the approved country) + the costs for 6 months care in the approved country + pre-immigration vet costs in that country. I doubt if it would come to anything less than $6000 and it could be more.

I'm 14, my parents are not dog people, we might get a dog but they won't help out at all. Can I do it myself?t?
Maddy
I am 13 years old, and both my parents are NOT dog people. We r moving this summer and I have pretty much convinced them to get a dog when we move. The only problem is, although I know I will be the primary caretaker of the dog,after having another discussion about it, my parents make it clear that I was to do EVERYTHING and did not even want to occasional take the dog for a walk and pick up its poop or even feed it. What if I ever go away for a few days? I'm afraid they will not help out at all with the dog. I'm about to start highschool and could be busy. I am afraid I won't b able to handle it all alone. I need some advice on whether or not to follow through and get my first dog. Any advice?
Answer
Number 1; Getting a dog should be a family decision. Two out of 3 people don't want to deal with a puppy so in my opinion you should wait, as your parents are going to be unhappy with the pup during the teething stage, the chewing of the furniture and the pooping on the floor while your at school. If you get the dog this poor pup is likely to end up in the shelter, its simple not the right time or environment to be raising a pup in. Normally when a parents will say they will NOT help you. they normally mean it.
Since your 14. You will be going to school from at least 9am to 3.30pm, not including bus trips to and from school. Which means you be stuck with the pup for only 6 1/2hours, Your parents are stuck with an unwanted pup from 9.30am-3.30pm=Which mean they have the pup for 7 1/2 hours, and majority of responsiblity will fall on them.
Number 3; a pup need to be housetrainned. How the heck can you housetrain adog when your gone for 6 1/2hours, how can you obedience train it, and correctly socialise it when your out most of the day? and pups 8week+ until 6month need at least 3 feeds daily. Once 6month, 2feed daily.
Frankly 6 1/2 hours is far too long for a pup to be ignore. Max 2hours left alone
Number 4; I be surprised if a 14year old could literally afford the cost of a dog.
Approx cost, here in australia, these figures are well underestimated of what it litterally cost to own a dog.
Purchase Price=$1000
Food=$500
Vacinations=$150
Vet bills=$400
Spay/neuter=200
Bed=$150
Treats=$100

Bowls=$25
Collar=$20
Leash=$20
Trainning=$450

Heartworm=$100

Grooming Tools=$250
Dental Care=$40
Stain Cleaner=$75
Waste Disposal=$50
Trainning aids=$300
Deworming=$30
Boarding=200
Crate=$150
Car Restraint=$100
Approx 1 year cost =6,600
Approx yearly cost $2485.00
Total over the life of a 14 year old dog $38,905.00
What if I ever go away for a few days? I'm afraid they will not help out at all with the dog. This is not that difficult to fix, as an alernative to have them helping out is taken the pup to pet boarding for holidays while you go away=depending on the place it can cost 200+
What concerns me is these
I'm about to start highschool and could be busy! i can guarantee with high school that you will defiantly be busy. This is not the time to get a puppy, as you need to put all your attention into trainning a pup so it doesn't consistently puppy bite or jump up on people, socialise it and obedience trainning to ensure it developes into a well manner dog, as a mature and well socialised animal. Being bussy you will not be able to give it the attention and trainning it desperately leads which will also lead to unwanted behaviours.
I am afraid I won't b able to handle it all alone. I think you be able to handle the pup fine, but the problem is the cost of vet bills is my major concern. Some vet bills can run into the 6000+ range, the average is 150+, plus the cost of food, trainning, and the time a puppy needs. I'm sure most 14years old don't have this cash on a tree outside. As far as i'm aware, money doesn't grow on trees
I need some advice on whether or not to follow through and get my first dog. Any advice?
As much as I can tell you want a dog, i think the wise decision will NOT to get one right now. I think your wise to have your doubts which means your also smart enough to know this is not the right time for having a pup.
That Cute Puppy Requires Work
Watching a puppy grow can be a rewarding experience, and is often compared to the time requirements of raising a human baby. And just like a baby, you won't discover the dogs' true personality until it is nearing adulthood.
Young puppies require large amounts of time; needing to be fed 3-4 times a day, kept in a confined area indoors and let out every few hours to eliminate. The first few weeks can be filled with sleepless nights as the confused puppy seeks comfort and food. A puppy's growth phase requires much supervision and training. Housetraining is accomplished only after accidents. Teething ("chewing") lasts the first six-eight months. And puppies don't become mature adults until they are two years old, meaning they act like teenage dogs for a year or more.
If everyone in your home is gone for eight hours a day, your puppy probably won't get the attention he needs to meet your expectations. If you are gone much longer than eight hours a day, even adult dogs have high attention needs and may not be a good choice for your current lifestyle.
Adult Dogs Have Many Advantages
Most dogs given to shelters are young adolescents. They don't usually have behavior problems, they were just victims of well-meaning owners who didn't have the time, knowledge or patience for the needs of a dog.
While many shelter dogs could use a little more training, they usually bond quickly with new owners, and have fewer needs than a young puppy.
Many shelter dogs are already housetrained, though they often need some reminders and a few days of adjustment time after their stay at a shelter kennel. Even if they were sadly kept outdoors only, adult dogs often only need a day or two to learn that they live inside, but eliminate outside.
Many shelter dogs have already lived with children. People often assume that they should start with a puppy if they have children. Puppies have sharp baby teeth and can play too roughly with young children. There are many adult dogs in the shelter that are recommended for households with children. And, teaching children about the moral benefits of saving the life of a homeless adult pet is a lesson that will never be forgotten.
Adult dogs are easier to train than young puppies because they have longer attention spans. And many shelter dogs already know some basic commands taught in their first home or by shelter volunteers.
Dogs are generally more predictable. A dog isn't full-grown until it's a year old, so when adopting an adult dog you already know it's full size, health and real personality.
Dogs mature out of their "teenage phase" until they are often two years old. Adopting an older pet means that someone else already had his or her shoes chewed and you get the benefit of a dog who is more mellow and allows you to finish the entire newspaper.
Don't discount a dog that is approaching a senior age. Even an eight-year-old dog has the likelihood of many more good years to give you. A senior dog often offers the sweetest rewards. To learn more about adopting a senior dog, we recommend visiting the Senior Dog's Project (http://www.srdogs.com/).
You are taking a stand against the pet overpopulation crisis and saving an animal that will bond quickly with you, and shower you with gratitude and unconditional love.
All dogs are pack animals and have high needs for regular companionship and attention inside the home with their humans. If you are gone much longer than eight or nine hours a day, a dog may not be an appropriate pet for your busy lifestyle
