I  will let others give the on the ground experiences with the dogs, however, you need to quickly begin the process of getting an import permit for the dog (we have a bird).  Price is cheap $10 but you must get the application form and Fed Exp it to Nassau.  For a fee they will fax it back to you.  You then need to have each dog examined by a US vet who must sign the US form for an international health certificate.  This must be physically sent to that states US Agricultural Vet office who will countersign. (Believe the fee is $24).  All of this takes time.
