That's great info and more than I was hoping to get. I've done a bit of research as well and I think it may have been through military channels of information but what I've surmised about bring a pet is that it can go smoothly as long as the mass amounts of paperwork and shots etc are in order, up to date with meticulous detail. I believe it takes about 6 months to get an animal ready to enter the country otherwise they can hold it in quarantine for up to 180 days.
Info on the SH/IS visa is great, I will look into that more as a viable option. I think the teaching route is great because it does allow access to such a broad spectrum that most likely would not be able to live there otherwise but I wasn't sure that was the best path for me or that I wanted to be pigeon holed into it. I do enjoy teaching, I've taught martial arts to all ages for 5 years now but want to keep my options open.
Thanks again for the great information, its much appreciated.
Peace
