I am trying to bring my dog over right now (she was due to arrive Friday week, but it's been pushed back until at least June due to a problem with some bloodwork she had done). It is extremely difficult, time consuming, and expensive. It's probably one of the hardest countries to bring an animal into, but that's fair (they've been burned before).
Start planning a year in advance if possible for import of the dogs, and at minimum you'll need six months. The dogs will have to be quarantined for a minimum of 30 days so keep that in mind.
I am bringing over a Weimaraner and, all told, it'll end up costing about US$5,000. It's not chump change, but she's worth it. With a smaller dog it would be a bit cheaper but not substantially (a couple I know brought over their cat and it was about $3500). How much two dogs would cost, I don't know. It probably wont' be exactly double, but won't be too far off.
