Answer
Dear Heather
No one is USA will be fully qualified to answer these questions.
You should have no problems driving thru USA.  A valid health cert and
rabies vac is all that is necessary.  Leaving Canada should be no
problem.  Entering Mexico could be a real problem.
Contact Mexican embassy or consulate near you.
You can also visit:  www.ipata.com    There are pet shippers in
Mexico and Canada who can fill you in on up to date info.
There is no quarantine in Mexico that I know of.  Many countries have
restrictions regarding pit bulls and pit bull crosses.  I don't know if
Mexico is one of them
Hope this helps
