Taking dogs from Turkey to Greece

Question
I have 3 dogs and hope to travel with them from Turkey to Greece initially, and from then on to France. I have heard that there is a limit to the number of dogs that one can export from Turkey. Is this correct, and if so, what is the limit?  Many thanks.

Answer
To travel from a non-eu country into the eu, you will need to have
all pets have: microchip   rabies vac at least 30 days old and less
than 1 yr   AND  blood titre lab work done and wait 3 months after
blood draw to enter EU
Best you contact DEFRA in UK for precise info.  I have a link to
them from p. 4 of my website.
I don't think there is a limit on export from Turkey.  I think that
is for import into Turkey.
Once you get to Greece, then you can get the EU pet passport, so
onward to France, etc will not be a problem.
